The husband has mastered making crème caramels. After finding the recipe in an issue of Delicious, it’s become his staple fancy dessert. I couldn’t tell you exactly how it’s made, nor do I want to. This blissful ignorance means that the boy will always have to make it for us. Ahhh.

The caramels are sweet and light and make the perfect ending to a big dinner. The husband has made them with real vanilla beans in the past.  The specky black dots from the vanilla bean add a bit of interest and colour.

We’ve even tried drizzling PEI maple wine over the top - which is also pretty awesome. If you’re on PEI, you should definitely pick this up.

Girlfriendly rating: 5/5 “I love this dessert!”

This recipe online seems similar to the one the boy makes.
