Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 4 Large Egg Yolks
- 1/2 cup Erythritol
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Sugar-Free Sweetener for topping
Equipment: 6 Ramekins, Blowtorch
The star of this recipe is Erythritol, a sugar alcohol that’s a fantastic sugar substitute for those on a Keto diet. Don’t worry, it doesn’t contain any alcohol! And the heavy cream lends that rich, velvety texture that a great creme brulee recipe should have.
Remember, the topping should always be a sugar-free sweetener to maintain the low carb count. If you can���t get hold of Erythritol, Stevia is another excellent substitute.
How To Make Keto Creme Brulee With Just 1 NET CARB Per Serving
- Preheat your oven to 325��F (163��C). Start by combining the heavy cream and erythritol in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it regularly to prevent it from burning.
- While the cream mixture is heating up, crack the eggs in a bowl, add the salt, and beat well.
- When the cream mixture is hot (not boiling), slowly pour it into the beaten eggs while stirring continuously. This is known as tempering – the process of gently heating up the eggs without scrambling them.
- Next, add in the vanilla extract and stir until it’s well combined.
- Distribute the mixture evenly into your ramekins, place them in a baking dish filled halfway with boiling water, and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle is still a bit jiggly.
- Once cooked, remove the ramekins from the water bath, let them cool, and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle a little erythritol on top of each one, then use a blowtorch to caramelize it. And that’s it – your Keto Creme Brulee is ready to be devoured!
Tips For The Best Results
- While tempering, always add the hot cream mixture gradually to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- For a deeper, more complex flavor, scrape in a fresh vanilla bean along with the vanilla extract.
Storage Tips
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the sugar-free sweetener topping just before serving.
- Avoid freezing as it might alter the custard’s texture.
