Crème Brûlée

Crème Brûlée happens to ALWAYS be the first thing I go after for in the dessert aisle of a casino/vegas buffet! The sweet silky creaminess balanced perfectly with a crunchy slight bitter burnt top. MMMMMM.. 9: Absolute heaven.

On my daily hunt for good recipes, I came across this one. I love how this recipes requires just a few basic ingredients and steps.

I could not have imagined that such a fancy delicate looking dessert is THIS easy(:
