Coffee Crema Catalana – the Catalan version of the French crème brûlée with a crusty burnt sugar top, but coffee flavoured! The perfect way to end your meal.
300ml– 1 ¼ cups freshly brewed coffeeI used espresso
600ml– 2 ½ cups milk
½tspcinnamon powder
Instructions
Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, and corn starch until white and fluffy.
Add the coffee and whisk.
Add the milk and whisk.
Put the egg yolk mixture on the fire. Cook on a medium flame, whisking constantly, until it boils and the cream thickens. It will be quite frothy at the beginning, but the foam will disappear once it starts to boil (at this point, the crema catalana will be ready).
Divide the cream between 8 ramekins and let it cool down. When at room temperature, put it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
Just before serving, sprinkle ½ tablespoon of sugar on each crema catalana and brûlée it using a torch. Serve immediately.
