For homemade desserts I like yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting or pecan pie. Dining out I love creme brulee. Also, the Chocolate Bread Pudding at Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille in Gainesville, Fla. is a religious experience. It's drenched in a butter sauce and flanked by two huge scoops of vanilla ice cream. Oops, I just gained two pounds thinking about it. ;)
Welcome to the Canteen!
And thank you for your service to America.
Creme Brulee or "burnt cream" is a satiny custard. It is served chilled yet glistens with a crisp caramelized sugar top, which when tapped with the back of a dessert spoon, shatters like glass, revealing that cool, vanilla-infused custard hidden below.
A quintessential New Orleans dessert.
