In this post I will show you a simple and quick recipe for a refreshing Crema Catalana. A great dessert for every occasion.

What dessert do you think of when you imagine sitting somewhere on the Spanish coast in a cozy restaurant in late summer? I definitely always think of Crema Catalan. The Spanish counterpart to creme brülee is something very special for me because it tastes so wonderfully light and refreshing. Simply an ideal dessert, especially on warm summer days.

Here I will show you how you can quickly and easily conjure up that Spanish holiday feeling in your kitchen. You only need a few ingredients, a little time and patience and, in the end, just a lot of enjoyment.
