Crema bruciata di Alghero in Alghero

Crema bruciata di Alghero is a spoon dessert made from a smooth custard based on 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 red‑hot iron until it forms an amber, crunchy crust. At the first tap of the spoon the crust cracks, revealing a soft, velvety cream underneath. Served in small individual cups, it is one of the most recognizable desserts in the city’s restaurants.
