Creme Brulee Spoonfuls

1 c Heavy cream
1/3 c Half-and-half
1 Vanilla Beans, split lengthwise
1/4 tsp Chinese 5 Spice
4 Egg yolks
1/4 c Granulated sugar
1/4 c Coarse sugar, raw sugar, or demerara sugar
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Heat the cream, half-and-half, vanilla bean, and 5 spice powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat just to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl just until combined. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in the hot cream mixture. Strain the mixture into an 8 x 8-inch ovenproof baking pan and smooth over.
Place the pan in a hot water bath. Bake in the center of the oven until set, but not too firm (it will cook a little more as it cools), 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the water bath and let cool 15 minutes. Tightly cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic does not touch the surface of the custard. (The recipe can be made in advance up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 3 days.)
Up to 4 hours before serving, fill Asian soupspoons with the chilled cooked custard by scooping each spoon into the pan of custard. Round the tops with a small spatula or a butter knife. Keep cold.
Right before serving, sprinkle the entire surface with a layer of coarse sugar and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining spoons. Torch or broil the spoons until the sugar is melted and well browned. Let cool 1 minute before serving.
