Method

Vanilla Pot de Crème

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and the seeds scraped from the vanilla beans. Heat over medium heat until just simmering.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper the yolks. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set.

  5. 5

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings.

    Mix Topping

    In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until combined.

  3. 8

    Roast Pineapple

    Place pineapple rings on a baking sheet and sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top. Roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.

Chewy Ginger Cookies

  1. 9

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 10

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, grated ginger, and vanilla extract.

  3. 11

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in chopped crystallized ginger.

  4. 12

    Cool Cookies

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
