Peanut Butter Creme Brulee Recipes

SIMPLE CREME BRULEE DESSERT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk 3 tablespoons sugar and cream in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined; heat the mixture in microwave until warm, 1 to 2 minutes, and whisk again to dissolve sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Pour cream mixture into 2 ramekins. Set ramekins into a roasting pan and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until creme desserts are set but still slightly jiggly when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove ramekins from hot water and chill in refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each dessert. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and melt the sugar topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let the sugar topping cool before serving. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp sugar open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath.

BANANA CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saute pan. Add the bananas, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of white sugar. Stir well to blend the sugar and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. The bananas should be lightly caramelized. Mash the bananas with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the lemon juice to the mixture, raise the heat to high, add the brandy, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, divide among 6 wide, shallow creme brulee dishes, and let cool. Place the heavy cream in a saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, and scrape the seeds into the cream with the tip of a knife. Add the scraped-out vanilla bean, and bring the cream just to a boil, then remove from heat. Reserve. Place the egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of white sugar in the top of a double boiler. Whisk them together, then stir over simmering water until the mixture becomes fairly thick (about 15 minutes). Strain the reserved cream into eggs, and stir the mixture over simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and ladle over the cooled banana puree in the 6 dishes. Place the dishes in a roasting pan, and fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the dishes from the pan, and chill them for at least 3 hours.
• When you are ready to serve, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of light brown sugar over each dish, distributing evenly. Place the dishes on a bed of cracked ice in a roasting pan, and position the pan under a broiler until the sugar caramelizes. Watch carefully, and move the dishes around so the sugar browns evenly but doesn't char. Remove and serve while the crust is still hot.

PB&J CRèME BRûLéE

• 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.

Divide custard among six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups.
• Place ramekins in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins.
