Creme brulee is my ultimate favorite dessert and I share with you today, my version of this awesome treat made with a Canadian flare. I sweetened it with maple syrup which gives it a nutty caramel flavor and I added a little bit of cinnamon spice to heighten the warm woody aroma and taste of the custard.

I love cracking into the candy shell of this dessert. The sound actually excites me before I have my first taste of the smooth velvet cream, and then that sweet toffee coating melting in my mouth, just takes this dessert over the top. This is why it’s my favorite.

  2. In a large measuring cup, whisk eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and cinnamon. Slowly whisk in hot cream into the egg mixture until blended.
  3. Divide into six 3/4 cup ramekins. Set the custards cups in a shallow pan and place in oven. Pour enough hot water into the pan to cover halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the sides are set but center still looks wet. Remove from water bath and cool on rack. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to 2 days.
