This recipe for low-carb creme brulee dessert inspired me to make low-carb creme brulee cheesecake, so stay tuned for the recipe.

This is one of the easiest dessert recipes to convert to low-carb. The main difference is in the sweetener used. For classic creme brulee you use regular white sugar. For the low-carb version, you need to use a Keto friendly sweetener. All other ingredients are the same.

Keto Creme Brulee Recipe
A healthier spin on a very popular dessert, this low-carb creme brulee is creamy and decadent, but sugar free. Smooth custard underneath crunchy caramelized top, makes a dreamy dessert, ready in 40 minutes with just 4 ingredients.



Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 5 tbsp Swerve
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp Swerve to top the dessert

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Prepare 4 ramekins and a pan large enough to fit all 4 of them.
  2. Place heavy cream and 1 tbsp of the sweetener in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, combine egg yolks and 4 tbsp sweetener. Add vanilla. Whisk until the sweetener has been incorporated.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture back to the pot with heavy cream. Whisk to combine.
  5. Divide mixture between 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in the baking dish. Pour about 2-3 cups hot water inside the baking dish so it covers about 1-inch of the ramekins.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the tops are set, but still wiggly.
  7. Remove form the oven and let the creme brûlée cool to room temperature.
  8. Cover each ramekin and refrigerate.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sweetener on top of each brûlée and using a kitchen torch melt until it caramelizes.
  10. Serve.
