National Pots De Crème Day is observed worldwide on August 27, celebrating the creamy French custard dessert known as pots de crème. This dessert originated in French cuisine around the 17th century and consists of a loose custard made from milk, cream, egg yolk, and sugar, which is baked in small porcelain cups. The name translates to "pot of custard" or "jar of cream," and the custard can be flavored with various ingredients such as vanilla, chocolate, or coffee. To celebrate, people often enjoy pots de crème at French restaurants or prepare it at home, inviting friends and family to share in this delightful treat. The holiday encourages culinary exploration, with chocolate pots de crème being particularly popular in the United States.
