National Pots De Crème Day

Pot de crème is a French dessert that translates to "pot of cream." It is a rich and decadent dessert that is made from a custard base that is baked in a water bath and chilled until set. The custard base for pot de crème is typically made from egg yolks, sugar, cream, and a flavoring such as vanilla or chocolate. The mixture is then poured into small ceramic or glass pots, and baked in a water bath in the oven until the custard is set and the top is lightly browned. Once the pot de crème has cooled, it is typically chilled in the refrigerator until it is firm and creamy. It is often served with whipped cream or fresh fruit on top, and may be garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate. Pot de crème is a classic French dessert that is rich and indulgent, and is often served in fine dining restaurants and at special occasions. It is a dessert that requires some time and effort to prepare, but the result is a creamy, luxurious dessert that is sure to impress.
