J’adore la crème caramel et la fève tonka. Alors les deux ensemble devraient faire mon bonheur prochainement.

P.S. On trouve des fèves tonka au Marché Jean-Talon, à Montréal. (1 $ pièce…!)

Hi Peter,

I love to read your blog but never really got around to trying any recipes. This was the first one that I tried and it came out better than any Creme Caramel that I have ever made. I took it to a party and every single person there loved it. Thanks a lot!

Peter, thanks for shedding some light on Tonka beans, which just happen to be one of my favorite spices! They are easily available here in Montreal (ironically, I picked up 5 today) so let me know if you ever want any more.

I’ve made a creme brule with tonka, but not creme caramel–it looks really fantastic.

Never heard of beans like that, but then, never seen such a pretty caramel. Beautifully set & oh-so-delicious Petah! Do you think nutmeg could replace the elusive tonkah?
