Easy Creme Brûlée Recipe- No Torch And Oven Needed

Crème Brûlée is a simple yet super yummy French dessert. It is a custard-like dessert made with heavy cream with caramelized sugar on the top. The caramelized sugar gets prepared using a fire torch, and the dessert is baked in an oven. Unfortunately, not everyone has the fire torch or a baking oven or maybe both. However, it does not mean that they won’t enjoy this yummy dessert at home. In this recipe, you will learn how to prepare the dessert without the oven and even prepare the caramel on top without using the fire torch.
