Keto Crème Brûlée contains a regular taste of the French dessert. It contains a thin, crispy layer of caramelized sugar on the surface of a smooth, silky custard foundation. This dessert uses a keto sweetener instead of regular sugar, which is good for keto. It looks hard to make at home, but it is quite easy to prepare. You may use Keto Crème Brûlée by freezing it for thirty days. We use some ingredients, such as egg yolks, a keto-friendly sweetener, and heavy cream to provide a similar taste to its regular version.

INGREDIENTS:
- 4 big egg yolks
- Salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Erythritol powder, 1/3 cup
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Extra powdered erythritol for topping
INGREDIENT NOTES:
SALT:
- The use of salt balances the sweetness and improves the whole flavor of the dish.
POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- We can also substitute sugar in place of powdered erythritol because it contains low carbs and maintains the sweetness. It will give a soft caramelization if we use sugar in powdered form.
HEAVY CREAM:
- It helps to give a creamy and rich texture that is necessary for custard. Using full-fat cream will be perfect for keto.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- You will have the same flavor as regular crème brûlée by using pure vanilla essence.
EXTRA ERYTHRITOL:
- It resembles the regular caramelized sugar crusts while keeping the carb content low when we add extra erythritol on top.
EGG YOLKS:
- It helps to provide a smooth texture and thickness to the custard.

- Stir carefully while tempering the eggs as you fill them with warm cream into the egg batter.
- To make it smooth, drain out the custard through a sieve.
- Distribute the custard equally into four different ramekins.
- Put the ramekins in the dish and fill it with hot water till half the ramekins are dipped.
- Insert it in the oven for half an hour, or till the custards are well set with a jelly-like center.

TIPS:

How can we prepare this without using the torch?

Why is my custard cracking?

May I use other kinds of sweeteners?
- Sure, you can utilize allulose or powdered monk fruit instead of erythritol.
