National Creme Brulee Day
July 27 is National Creme Brulee Day! Here at JB Hook's, you can enjoy our specialty creme brulee dessert after a delicious dinner. It's the perfect way to end a meal at our Lake of the Ozarks steak and seafood restaurant. The sweetness of the cream paired with the caramelized sugar makes for a truly unforgettable dessert. While we know that creme brulee is a tasty dessert, have you ever wondered about its origins? JB Hook's has all the details about this French dessert to help you celebrate National Creme Brulee Day.
It's Long History
Like most things in the food world, it's hard to trace back where creme brulee was first created, however, we have a good guess and when it was invented. One of the first recordings of this delicious dessert was in France in 1691, but its origin might not be French at all. England, Spain and France all claim to have created the first version of creme brulee, but custards were very popular in the Middle Ages. In fact, its popularity circulated all across Europe, so it's impossible to trace custard's actual roots. To top it off, things get really fuzzy when it comes to who was the first to caramelize sugar on top.
Early French versions of the dessert didn't burn the caramel on top like the version we know today. Instead, they placed a previously prepared caramel disc on top of the custard. Trinity College in Cambridge also claims to be the birthplace of creme brulee but called it Trinity Burnt Cream. A student came up with the dish in the 17th century. The college crest was burnt into sugar on the custard. The college is still well-known for making this dish, however, their version is unsweetened and thicker. Catalans claim their 'crema catalana,' which is a rich custard topped with caramelized sugar was the inspiration for the creme brulee, but it's origins begin in the 18th century.
