Creme Brulee by the Spoonful image

This is a recipe found on the Ricardo Larrivee site. The spoons are a Japanese 5" Miso Spoon. I found difficulty getting these, till I got the name right. I found a supply at Walmart. I still need to get my last 9 spoons. I want 12. I thought this would be a great recipe for entertaining.
