In the 17th century Pots, de Creme started becoming popular and was created filling crusts like a pie. As time went on they were made in smaller portions and the crust was eliminated. While it remains incredibly popular, many people have difficulty pronouncing it. It is not, as the name suggests, “Pawts deh Creem”, but is pronounced “Po de Krehm”. But no matter how you pronounce it, it's delicious and a complete breeze to make!
