Leite creme is a traditional Portuguese dessert, also known as "creme brulee" or "Portuguese custard." It is a creamy, sweet dessert made with a mixture of milk, sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch. The ingredients are cooked together over low heat until thickened, and then poured into ramekins or small dishes to cool and set.

Before serving, the leite creme is usually sprinkled with sugar and caramelized with a torch or under a broiler to create a thin, crispy layer on top. The result is a delicious dessert with a smooth, creamy texture and a sweet, crunchy topping.
