How many calories... in Creme Brulee?

We all need to spurge a little from time to time. We treat ourselves to dessert, and the very slurpgiest (that should be a word) of desserts, for me, is creme brulee. I realize the recipe is simple, but there's something about creme brulee that says "celebration!" I think it's the way you get to crack of the sugar top with your spoon. Plus, making it requires a torch.

This isn't something we're eating everyday. When we splurge, how many calories are in one average serving of creme brulee?

A) 280 calories
B) 350 calories
C) 420 calories
D) 575 calories

The correct answer is D) 575 calories. This hefty calorie count comes with a disclaimer that can be either good or bad news depending on where you order your creme brulee: This dessert that has a wide variety of serving sizes. While 575 is an average calorie total for a restaurant's creme brulee, individual recipes vary from 250 calories to a whopping 950 calories per serving. You can find out more nutritional information directly from the source of your creme brulee, and try to keep this dessert as a treat for special occasions only.
