My partner is allergic to diary products, creme brulee/crema catalana his favourite. I made this recipe replacing the milk and cream with 600mls of single low fat soya cream – it was delicious, half the calories, no cholestorol, and served it to friends who didn’t notice it wasn’t the full fat cows version.

Hi Sandie-Ahh if you’re a fan of brulee, might I say that you’ll love this?

Yes it’s a bit scary at first isn’t it!

Have I ever mentioned Creme Brulee is my favorite? Which reminds me…I have a new variation to try.

P.S. I love my culinary torch, although the first time I used it I was a bit scared. Alas, I did not burn anything down!

Hi we are never full-haha cool! I didn’t want people thinking I was mental. Well my neighbours I’m sure already do…

Hi Chuck-Yes a long, savoured taste is enough although I admit I ate quite a bit of it too!

Hi finsmom-It’s one of those desserts that you try and wonder why it took you so long to make it. It did that for me

Hi Melissa-I was praying with all my might for a good toffee crack and I was so relieved when I got it

Hi reddoorred-Yes and conversely there’s nothing worse than cracking it with a spoon onto to hear nothing back. It makes me very sad and mad

Hi Angela-You’re welcome! I loved the combination so much

Ooh, I love the cinnamon and orange zest in this. And that slightly burnt look on top is to die for. Great recipe; thanks!
