2 Tbs. white sugar
2 Tbs. white or brown sugar

Powdered sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Cook the cream with the vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat until the cream begins to boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks with two tablespoons of white sugar until firm. Pour the egg mixture into the hot cream and return to the heat. Continue cooking, while stirring continuously with a spatula, until the mixture almost boils again. Remove saucepan from the heat, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the cream-egg mixture, and then discard the pod.
Pour the crème brulee into serving dishes and refrigerate for 3-4 hours prior to serving. (crème brulee can be stored, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days).

At serving time, spread white sugar evenly on top of each crème brulee and then caramelize the sugar with a blow torch. Or, substitute brown sugar for the white sugar and watch closely until the brown sugar melts and caramelizes. Remove immediately. After caramelizing, top with berries or fruit of your choice, along with a dusting of powdered sugar, and then serve.
