Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

To make a good fruit salad, there are three important points:
  1. Choose fruits that go well together (avoid putting soft pears with crunchy apples for example).
  2. Remove absolutely all skins and seeds.
  3. Bring it all together with a good home made sugar syrup added to the fruit juices.
Here is a recipe which does all of that.
