Creme brulee is a creamy custard-based delicacy, often served slightly cold and garnished with fruits. What does the word "brulee" mean in English?

The dessert creme brulee is covered with a layer of solidified caramelized sugar. The heat generated during the caramelizing process warms the top of the custard while keeping the core cool, hence the adjective "brulee," or "burned." In French cuisine, the sugar is usually vanilla-flavored.
