the difference between creme brulee and crema catalana consist in this the way of cooking a creme brule is with bain marie and crema catalana doesn't so this is a creme brule not a crema catalana!!!
@onlyfornintendo The most important difference is that crema catalana has cinnamon and creme brulee has vanilla.
But Jean Pierre is coocking a mixture of both recipees and also he forgets the maizena (cornmeal). I'm sure the taste is similar, but the original recipee is different.
This recipe is VERY close to traditional Creme Catalana in terms of the flavorings, but it shouldn't be quite so rich.. less half/half or cream.. more milk. Also, the traditional version would not be baked in a bain marie.. this is a bit of a fusion of the Iberian version with french cooking sensibilities. It is certainly tasty done this way.. and I don't particularly like the carmelized sugar top anyway. This recipe makes great gelato if you bring the temp back up to cook the eggs though!
wow what's up with the hate in almost all of this chef's videos? who cares about his accent or nationality. for f... sakes stop with the hate. i really hope you're all teenagers.
While I'm sure it tastes nice, that is not crema catalana. Crema catalana is thicker than that and the top should be caramelized. It is NOT baked. So good for him for trying, but as usual it seems the French can't be trusted with Iberian cooking.
Take your traditions and shove them up your ass. Who cares if it's not 100% accurate to the recipe home country's standards? All it should be about is taste.
well yes it is important because u can not say that something is a crema catalan if it is not, i can not say that something is a hamburguer if it is a steak.
I also noticed that: you said: 4 eggs,but for who don't know to make that delicious dessert will add 4 eggs!!(it's mean white and egg yolks together,were mentioned in the video.But the bottom line is: 4 whole egg yolks!.Or about your recipe you made it with 4 eggs,because I noticed(4 egg yolks)!.
le chef..made créme catalana(french cuisine), we also have in italian and the traditional catalan and all recipes add egg yolks.
* half and half: terms from the "cuisine" vocabulary(heavy creamy and milk),Example: evaporated milk,try it ,gorgeous!!.Which is simply milk with about half the water removed.
now,lemon ZEST and orange(gorgeous!!)
by the way: with all due respect,what a gorgeous french chef,ouh lá! (LOL)
Uff very nice!! I´ve seen cooking this but with the melted sugar on the top!! I think your recipe is very very easy to prepare! I LOVE IT. And I like your charistma too!! :)
Do you provide the recipe written out, including both the ingredients and instructions?

Main differences are: creme brulee is made with cream and vanilla, crema catalana is milk and cinnamon and zest (both also have sugar)
