The Creme de Menthe No One Talks About — But Everyone Craves When it comes to classic desserts, vanilla or chocolate usually take center stage. But tucked away in the quiet corners of culinary delight lies a quietly enchanting indulgence: Creme de Menthe — the minty cream that’s elegant, refined, and universally craved, yet often overlooked. ### What Is Creme de Menthe? Creme de Menthe is a luxurious mint-flavored cream, distinct from greener peppermint or sharp spearmint versions. Traditionally a rich, pale green custard-style dessert filled with a smooth vanilla bean cream base infused with high-quality Mentha arvensis (field mint) extract, it delivers a clean, balanced mint flavor without overwhelming bitterness.
