🏆 Contest Winner

Eggnog Crème Brûlée by Parth Deshmukh

“This year, I did a Christmas potluck with my friends. I wanted to make something that checked all the boxes: delicious, looks like I put in way more effort than I actually did, and still easy enough to make (because I’m no chef). Eggnog Crème Brûlée ended up being the perfect choice. It has a rich holiday flavour and looked like I bought it from a dessert shop. My friends were convinced I’d spent hours on it, but it honestly wasn’t that hard, needed just a few ingredients and almost no stress. It was a huge hit and disappeared immediately.” – Parth.

Eggnog Crème Brûlée

A luxurious twist on a classic dessert! Parth’s Eggnog Crème Brûlée combines the rich, festive flavour of eggnog with the elegance of a brûlée topping.
