    This Low Carb Sugar Free Creme Brulee makes for a great dessert.

    I like that it can be made without adding a lot of sugar to it.

    Low Carb Sugar Free Creme Brulee

     
    This reminds me of my Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse recipe.
    Both desserts are yummy food that you can eat from a bowl or ramekin. However, that recipe is chocolate while this one is simply a creme brulee.
     

    This is one of those desserts that can be served all by itself.

    But, because this is such as creamy dessert, I like to add a bit of fruit on the side. That way anyone looking for a light cleansing of tasters or balancing of flavors can get it from a bit of fruit.

     

    You may be wondering how should creme brulee be served.

    The standard serving and baking dish for creme brulee is actually a shallow ramekin (4-6 ounce should be good). The size of the ramekin that you choose should also have something to do with the number of servings that you plan on making.

    The ramekins used in this recipe really have two purposes.

    We just touched on using the ramekins for serving the creme brulee in. However, we will also use them ramekins for baking the creme brulee in.

     

    Someone always asks me what is creme brulee when I tell them about it.

    Certainly, this dessert is like a custard as it is made with eggs. However, this dessert is also known for its cream and how it interacts with the sugar and eggs when it is made.

    This recipe is for a sugar free version of creme brulee.

    As a result, since we are not using real sugar, we will have to get as close to the consistency and taste to the real thing as we can. Vanilla, whether you use a bean or extract, is what will get us that great taste we are looking for.

     

    Here are some tips for making Low Carb Sugar Free Creme Brulee

    I just mentioned that the secret for the taste has a lot to do with the vanilla that we will add to the recipe (everything else helps us mimic the texture). You can find vanilla beans online or you can use Vanilla Extract.

    Here are some more tips for how to make your creme brulee.

    1. Creme brulee can be made in advance. They should keep in the refrigerator for a few days.
    2. Creme brulee can be served warm or cold. While you can serve them fresh out of the oven (waiting for them to cool enough to eat), you can also choose to refrigerate the creme brulee before serving.
    3. Curdling occurs when the eggs in your creme brulee are cooked too warm. To avoid curdling, allow the creme to cool a bit before adding the eggs. You can also add the eggs a bit at a time in an attempt to temper them.
    4. Treat your creme brulee like a custard, as they are in a way a custard. This will help you keep the cooking, serving, and keeping of them.
    5. You can actually freeze the individual ramekins away for enjoying later. Simply wrap them well first and when you are ready to serve them allow them to site for a few minutes unwrapped.

     

    I should also mention that creme brulee has its own kind of way that it is made.

    It is essential that you use a roasting pan with water to bake your creme brulee. Also, you should use a shallow ramekin (4-6 ounce should be good).

    The recipe for Low Carb Sugar Free Creme Brulee

    As mentioned, it is essential that you use a roasting pan with water to bake your creme brulee. Also, you should use a shallow ramekin (4-6 ounce should be good).

    I also mentioned the importance of using vanilla when it comes to maintaining the taste in this sugar free version of the original.

    You can find vanilla beans online. Or, you can use Vanilla Extract.

     

    Here is what you will need to make this sugar free version of creme brulee.

     

    • Vanilla- 1 vanilla bean . Or, you can use 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.
    • Heavy Cream- 3 cups. Read the label to make sure that yours has no added sugar in it. Heavy cream is normally sugar free.
    • Egg Yolks- 6 large.
    • Sugar Free Powdered Sugar- ¾ cup.
      You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
    • Hot water- 2 quarts or what is needed for your roasting pan.
    • Sugar Alternative- ½ cup. Please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.

    How to make Low Carb Sugar Free Creme Brulee

     

    • Preheat your oven to 325. I like to give my ramekins a quick spray with nonstick as well. Place the ramekins into the roasting pan.
    • To prepare a vanilla bean, simply split it in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a bowl. In a 3-4 quart saucepan, on medium to high heat, bring your vanilla and cream to a boil. Remove from heat and allow this to cool, covered, while you work (allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before adding it to the eggs).
    • Next, in a medium mixing bowl whisk together the sugar free powdered sugar with the egg yolks, whisking the yolks well.
    • For the next step, we will add the now somewhat cooled vanilla and heavy cream to the eggs. To do this, we will add â…“rd of the vanilla and cream at a time, stirring continuously. When all of your vanilla and cream has been added and stirred in, you can transfer it to the individual ramekins. Fill the roasting pan with the hot water, covering the ramekins about half way. Bake the creme brulee until it begins to set, about 45-50
      minutes (time has to do with size of your ramekins). There should be no liquid in the center.
    • You will need to refrigerate the creme brulee for at at least an hour and a half. To do so, allow the ramekins to cool for five to ten minutes and then transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet.
    • When ready to serve, evenly sprinkle the remaining sugar alternative to the tops of the creme brulee. Some folks like to quickly broil this to make them golden. This may not work as well depending on the sugar alternative that you use. Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch. Erythritol sweeteners are often better for browning.

      Rub your whisked yolks through a sieve to ensure there are no stringy bits left - they are so UGH in a custard.
