Creme Brulee - by Stacey and Jo
"Rich, decadent dessert worth the calories! Crisp sweet crust - it's simply the best recipe. My good friend and I decided to make several creme brulee recipes one day and vote which one was the best. With a tiny bit of tweeking this one is the winner hands down! Delicious with sliced sweet fresh strawberries."

<p>Love to cook, my daughters do also. I was introduced to RecipeZaar by my oldest DD and I am addicted to it. <br /><br />I live in East Texas, and sometimes some of the exotic ingredients in some of the recipes I want to make present quite a challenge - <br /><br />I started cooking early and have always enjoyed finding new recipies and making menus - but RecipeZaar has taken this to a whole new level. <br /><br />Pick A Chef Banner: <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><br />I Was Adopted banner: <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
