Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat egg yolks, 4 tablespoons white sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until thick and creamy.
• Pour cream into a saucepan and stir over low heat until it almost comes to boil. Remove the cream from heat immediately. Stir cream into the egg yolk mixture; beat until combined.
• Pour cream mixture into the top pan of a double boiler. Stir over simmering water until mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove mixture from heat immediately and pour into a shallow heat-proof dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a small bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar. Sift this mixture evenly over custard. Place dish under broiler until sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until custard is set again.

PB&J CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Spread 2 teaspoons of the strawberry jam in the bottom of each of 6 round or oval 6-ounce crème brûlée ramekins. Arrange the strawberries, slightly shingled, in a layer on top of the jam. Place the ramekins in a large roasting pan or rimmed sheet tray.
• Bring the cream, peanut butter, salt and 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar to a simmer in a saucepan, stirring often. Add the scraped vanilla bean and stir to combine. Place the yolks and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Temper the yolks with about 1/4 cup of the warm cream mixture and whisk to combine, then add the warm egg mixture to the saucepan to fully temper.
• Using a ladle, divide the cream mixture among the ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place the roasting pan in the oven and add enough warm water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the centers are set, about 45 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the ramekins to a sheet tray and let cool completely at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the tops with just enough of the turbinado sugar to cover in a thin, even layer. Shake off any excess. Torch the sugar with a brûlée or kitchen blowtorch until melted and lightly caramelized. Carefully transfer to plates and serve.

Steps:

• In upper part of double boiler, heat 3 cups of heavy cream with the vanilla bean. In a bowl, beat 6 tablespoons of sugar with the egg yolks and eggs until light and creamy. Take out the vanilla bean, and stir the warm cream into the yolks very carefully and slowly. Return the mixture to the double boiler, over boiling water. Stir constantly until the custard coats the spoon. Then put into a glass serving dish and place it in the refrigerator to set. When ready to serve, cover the top of the custard completely with brown sugar, using 1/2 cup or more. Place the dish on a bowl of crushed ice and place custard under broiler flame until sugar melts and caramelizes. Keep watching it, for the sugar will burn. Serve immediately.
