1. A dessert of custard, covered by a brittle layer of browned sugar.

   Synonyms: brûlée, burnt cream, Cambridge cream, Trinity cream

• Concerning plural forms: crèmes brûlées follows the French plural, which requires that the adjective (brûlée(s) (“burnt”)) agree in number with the noun it modifies (crème(s) (“cream(s)”)); crème brûlées treats the phrase as a headless English noun, regularly suffixing -s to form its plural; whereas crèmes brûlée retains the nominal head, forming a plural by suffixation of the noun, per English grammar.
