Crema Catalana by Royal is Spain’s answer to the French crème brûlée — but with its own distinctive Mediterranean flair. This luscious dessert from Royal captures the essence of Catalonia in a ready-to-enjoy form that’s both luxurious and convenient. Traditionally enjoyed on Saint Joseph’s Day in March, Crema Catalana has become a year-round favourite thanks to its delicate balance of textures: a silky smooth custard base infused with hints of lemon zest and cinnamon, topped with a crisp, caramelised sugar crust.
Royal’s version stays true to this centuries-old recipe while offering the simplicity of a perfectly measured preparation. With just a few minutes of gentle heating, you can recreate the authentic flavour of a Spanish restaurant dessert right at home. The result is a comforting, aromatic cream with subtle citrus notes and a rich, egg-based sweetness that melts on the tongue.
Serve it chilled in terracotta ramekins and finish with a sprinkle of sugar caramelised under a torch or broiler for that signature golden crust. Pair it with a glass of Moscatel or Pedro Ximénez sherry for a touch of indulgence. Whether as the finale to a Spanish-inspired dinner or a weekend treat, Royal Crema Catalana brings a spoonful of Spain’s culinary heritage to your table — creamy, fragrant, and utterly irresistible.
