There are few desserts more impressive than a good crème brûlée. They’re ideal for entertaining because you can prepare them ahead of time and just quickly brûlée the tops before serving. Make thing even more magnificent by adding a little liqueur to this classic custard. Which one will you try first?

Kahlúa: As much as we love espresso martinis, that’s not the only way to enjoy this classic coffee liqueur! Made with rum, sugar and 100% Arabica coffee beans, it’s been a favorite from Veracruz, Mexico since 1936.

Try it in… Kahlúa Crème Brûlée: Coffee and dessert is a natural pairing, so why not enjoy them together in one fabulous dessert? This creamy custard base is even better with a dash of Kahlúa for good measure.

Cointreau L’Unique: Add a little French flair to your cocktail or dessert with this citrusy liqueur harkening back to France’s Golden Age. Its aromatic orange notes and fresh, nuanced flavor are zesty, fruity, sweet and floral in all the right ways. 

Try it in… Cointreau Crème Brûlée: The orange liqueur in this recipe makes a nice counterpoint to the crème brûlée's signature caramelized sugar top. Make a small batch of two for date night, or scale up the recipe to serve a crowd.
