🥘Ingredients

For the Custard

2 cups heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
1/3 cup powdered erythritol
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

For the Topping

2 tablespoons powdered erythritol

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and set aside.
3In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
4Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
5In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly pale, about 2 minutes.
6Strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps.
7Place the baking dish with the ramekins on the oven rack, then carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

📝Notes

Ensure the custards are fully chilled before torching to prevent them from warming too much. If you do not have a kitchen torch, you can place the ramekins under a hot broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Use a fine mesh strainer for a silky smooth texture.

This keto creme brulee recipe is perfect for any occasion – whether it’s a special dinner party or just a Tuesday night treat. My family loves how creamy and rich it is, and I appreciate how healthy it is compared to traditional desserts.

To store leftovers, simply refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. When reheating, place the ramekins in a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Serve with fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired – but honestly, it’s just as delicious on its own!
