Don't mess with success!

I usually test everything I am going to cook for a group or friends but I did a Chocolate Malted Creme Brulee from a recipe I found in Bon Appetit magazine and adapted for the welcome dessert at the Vineyard Church last Sunday. I did taste the unbaked custard to see if it was on the right track and it tasted good, like a chocolate malt but I didn't taste the finished product. Tonight I tried one and while the texture was right on, the flavor was just OK. I think it was too subtle in the finished product and I don't think I will do it again. Don't get me wrong, it was good but not like the original traditional Creme Brulee. That is without question the gold standard. Don't mess with success!
