Think of a rich and creamy dessert - one that you'd need a spoon to gently crack the top layer of brittle melted sugar to reveal the creamy custard beneath. If you guessed crème brûlée, you are right.
We might attribute this popular dessert to the French because of its name, but it's unclear where crème brûlée came from. Countries like England and Spain say they came up with it, but who knows for sure. In Spain, there's a similar dessert called "Crema Catalana," which is not baked in a water bath and is usually served on Saint Joseph's Day. There are English recipes from the 1500s for something very similar to crème brûlée. Even though custards and versions of crème brûlées have been around since the Middle Ages, they only gained popularity in the United States in the 1980s. No doubt, recipes for the dessert appeared in countless cookbooks, but it really took off when the upscale restaurant Le Cirque, one of New York City's most famous restaurants, put it on the menu.
