Crème brûlée

Have you ever tried Crème brûlée? In the movie My Best Friend's Wedding, Julia Roberts makes the most idiotic contradiction between Crème brûlée and Jello. Stating that sometimes we just want Jello. This is a hard place to put oneself, sometimes Jello is a refreshing treat;the kind with rainbow layers, concoctions with fresh fruits, or my favorite with cream cheese, fruit, and whipped topping. The latter yielding more of a cream consistency than that of the others. What can I say I'm not the Jell-o gal! Even though I may have grown up on simplistic Jell-o, yet it's not my favorite and I know what I want now and won't ever be able to feel the ignorant blissful satisfaction!

I moved down to live in Salt Lake with my Grandpa Phil while attending the University of Utah. He loved going out to eat, I've never been a big fan, but I saw the opportunity to try foods I've merely heard about in life. One evening, early on in my time here in Salt Lake we ate at Little America. At the end of the meal he insisted I choose a dessert, even though I'm not a huge dessert person, especially after eating a full meal. He persisted and I opted for Crème brûlée. It was like no other indulgence I'd experienced-the smooth and rich delectable vanilla bean flavor and creamy consistency penetrating my mouth was without comparison to anything I'd previously experienced.

It is well known by those I associate with that this is my all time favorite of favorites! I have my own french recipes from France, porcelain ramekins, and even a propane cooking torch to cook the sugar tops on each delicious dessert! There are actually a few different flavors to this lovely french display. My personal choice is made with vanilla beans, some lemon zest, and a fruit medley atop consisting of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I love fruit and milk, or fruit and Ice cream, why would this fine dish differ? Still keeping it simple, but quite the process when making it from scratch!

I still love slushies,ice cream sundays with hot fudge and peanuts, and these amazing cherry flavored wax topped ice cream cone. Yet when I want it real, a taste tantalizing to savor, and make the caloric intake worthwhile; when given the option, I will always opt for my favorite flavor of crème brûlée!
