Celebrate National Pots De Creme Day on August 27th by indulging in a creamy, delicious dessert! This special day was created to honor the classic French custard known as pots de crème. The word “pots de crème” literally translates to “pot of cream," and it's made with egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar and flavorings like vanilla or chocolate. It's no wonder why this rich custard has been around since the 18th century - it's simply irresistible!
