This crema catalana is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it up to 2 days ahead of time and just store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve it, just pop it in the oven for a few minutes to warm it through.

This crema catalana is a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. It's also a very versatile dessert. You can add different flavors to the custard, such as vanilla, chocolate, or fruit. You can also top it with different things, such as whipped cream,
