Mmmmm, I LOVE pots de creme. We’re doing a family affair for Valentine’s Day dinner. My mom and I are cooking dinner–a combo of my hubby’s and dad’s requests: lamb chops, spinach salad, haricots verts, garlic mashed potatoes, double chocolate chunk cookies, and chocolate malts.

Pamela – I wish I could tell you more about those spoons! My boyfriends mom picked them up for me a few months ago and doesn’t remember where they came from! Sorry I can’t be more helpful – sometimes crate and barrel or sur la table has precious little spoons like those too!

Clare – the first time I made these I didn’t have any vanilla beans on hand so I used extract. I used about 1 tbsp and they were delish!

This recipe looks amazing and simple! I’d love to try it for Valentine’s. Would it be possible to sub pure vanilla essence for the vanilla bean & seeds? If so, how much of the essence would I need?

Definitely cooking at home. I’ll share my meal after the big day. Thanks so much for this recipe. I know I’ll make it soon! If I had read this post earlier, I probably would have made these tonight. Sooo craving chocolate!

Oh how I love pot de creme, let me count the ways…
Also love those cute little spoons! And that last picture with the flower. I think that would make a cool picture blown up and put in the kitchen!
