Crème Brûlée Day

27 July

The 27th of July is Crème Brûlée Day.

It celebrates the vanilla-flavoured custard with a hard caramel layer on top, typically made in individually-sized ramekins.

The caramel layer makes a satisfying crack as you press your spoon into it, making for a dessert that is crunchy and creamy at the same time.

Do you like yours room temperature, or chilled?

Today, you get to have crème brûlée for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if you want.

Typically the custard is vanilla, and that is the default. Have you ever had it flavoured in other ways, though? Chocolate, green tea or Grand Marnier, perhaps? What about a bacon or salt pork custard underneath the caramel layer; would you try that? Or maybe a lobster, Parmesan and corn custard crème brûlée as an appetizer? How about a cookies n’ cream option for the kiddies?

Crème brûlée doesn’t have to be complicated to make; there are some no-bake recipes for it.

Vegan options can be made with tofu instead of the custard.

Christmas Crème Brûlée

History

The earliest print mention that CooksInfo is aware of for a Crème Brûlée Day in July occurred in 2007 in New Jersey:

“Friday [27th July 2007]: It’s National Crème Brûlée Day, proving once again there’s a holiday for every cuisine. The traditional technique is to bake a custard of egg yolks, cream, sugar and vanilla in a ramekin set in water, cool it, cover it in sugar, and torch it. But you can see a fun variation from a local pastry chef on Second Helpings, our Food blog, northjersey.com/food blog. We’ll have other riffs on classic crème brulée, too.” — Pitcher, Bill. Food column. Hackensack, New Jersey: The Record. Sunday, 22 July 2007. Page F2, col. 1.
