Sucre à la crème means Creamy Sugar. Want some yet? This is also a dessert that is extremely popular in my family. Both of my grandmas and my mom used to make it all the time when I was a child. Karl’s grandma makes it too and it’s so delicious, you just can’t stop eating it! I know it’s almost pure sugar so it’s obviously not a everyday thing but if you planning on entertaining for Thanksgiving or even for Christmas, this is the kind of recipe you want to make! It’s easy, quick, you can make it ahead of time AND it freezes quite well.
