€4–€8Alghero burnt cream in Alghero
Alghero burnt cream is a spoon dessert made from a smooth custard of milk, eggs, and sugar, often scented with lemon or orange zest and vanilla. The surface is covered with a thin layer of sugar that is caramelized with a flame or a hot iron until it forms an amber, crunchy crust. At the first tap of the spoon, the crust breaks to reveal the soft, velvety cream beneath. Served in small individual cups, it is one of the most recognizable desserts in the city’s restaurants.
