Crema Catalana

Creme Brulee I'm sure you heard about. Crema Catalana is consider the spanish version of the desert. It is simple to prepare. It's not one of those horrible deserts that are really, really sweet. I think it is worth it to try... 

Crema Catalana 
Ingredients: 

35 oz of milk
7 oz of sugar
6 oz of  yolk
1.7 0z of corn starch
cinnamon and lime skin

Directions

1 - In a bowl mix a little bit of the milk with the corn starch until it is all dissolved and than add the yolks. 
2 - Put the rest of the milk to heat in a pot  with the sticks of cinnamon and the lime skin. Wait until it starts to boil. 
3- Take the sticks and the skin of the pot and add the first mixture. It is really important to remove the hole time. It is really quick for it to become a thick cream.
4 - You just need to put it in 4 separate ceramic bowls. And wait for it to cool down. But try to serve it in the same day.
5 - When is time to serve put a consider amount of sugar on top (5 spoons) . You can use a kitchen torch or the griller of the oven to make the top crispy.  And serve right away.
