Crème Brûlée Recipe – Do NOT Miss This One!
MENU TIP: This Crème Brûlée recipe is from week 7 of our Low Carb menu plans pack!
Ingredients for Crème Brûlée:
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sugar substitute such as Swerve, divided
- Suggested: culinary torch for caramelizing sugar on top
How To Make Crème Brûlée:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth. In saucepan over medium heat, combine whipping cream and 3 tablespoons sugar substitute, whisking until mixture simmers. Remove saucepan from heat and gradually whisk egg yolk mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Distribute mixture evenly among 6 ramekins and place in 2 glass baking dishes. Pour hot water into baking dishes until it reaches halfway up sides of ramekins.
- On middle rack, bake 30 minutes until set. After baking, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar substitute on each crème brûlée, then use culinary torch for 30 seconds to caramelize sugar. Refrigerate 10 minutes until set.
Tips from the chef:
- Be sure to keep a close eye on the cream and sugar mixture so that it doesn’t boil over (it can happen quickly!).
- Refrigerate for the full 10 minutes after preparing the dessert so that it is not soupy.
- 3 ramekins will fit on a 8 x 10 pan – just be sure your pan is at least that big and not square to fit them on.
