Usually, when you eat creme brulee, it doesn’t necessarily have a flavor to it besides the sweetened cream it’s made with and the hardened sugar shell. For this recipe, I decided to add some flare and incorporate coffee and amaretto. Those two added ingredients make for a superb taste that take this ordinary creme and transport it out of this world.
