Cooking Tips

• Make sure to temper the egg mixture by slowly adding the hot cream mixture while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
• For a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the amount of espresso used.
• If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use the broiler setting in your oven to caramelize the sugar crust. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Storage and Serving

• Creme Bru-Latte can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• Garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
