I kid you not. This game to find the best crème brulée in Ottawa is ON. After having an amazing crème brulée at Domus, we decided to kick off this tasting challenge.
Below is the dessert that prompted this tasty duel, the crème brulée from Domus with a side of “cookies”. The quotes are actually in the menu. “I don’t know why.”
Made with real vanilla bean and organic milk and eggs - this little love pot set the bar pretty high. It had a paper thin crust that didn’t get all stuck on your teeth and was topped with a little wafer and sprig of mint … and of course, a side of “cookies.” The “cookies” were dusted in salt - a salty surprise! I am now in love with salt on cookies.
Overall - a delightful and creamy texture - not too creamy, not too rich, not too eggy, not too burnt sugary. Perfect.

Next up… the Social.
Do you have a recipe for a great creme brulee? I love your blog, btw, it brings me great joy when I browse my google reader and there’s a new post
I do have some recipes, but I’ve never tried making them at home. The husband keeps pushing to get one of those mini blowtorches… I am on the fence about this.
