Keto French Crème Brulee

This low-carb version of the famous dessert is everything you dream of in a Keto treat. Smooth and creamy with a caramelized top, this creme brulee is one of the best French Keto recipes out there. With just 4 ingredients, you can have the ultimate dessert ready in under an hour. But best of all, one serving of this incredible crème Brulee has 1g of carbs.

When should you caramelize the sweetener?

You should caramelize the surface right before serving because otherwise, the crust will melt and become sticky. This gives you the option of making this Keto crème Brulee ahead of time and keeping it in the fridge for a couple of days. When you’re ready to enjoy it, sprinkle a layer of granulated erythritol and torch until golden.

What if you don’t own a blowtorch?

You will get the best results by using a torch; however, there are a few tricks you could use. You can place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for 30-60 seconds. The second method is to caramelize the sugar in a pan and carefully pour it over the surface of each crème Brulee. This will probably give you a thick layer of caramel that may be difficult to break (and you’ll also need more sugar).

What ramekins should you use for this Keto crème Brulee?

Traditionally, crème Brulee is prepared in individual ramekins. However, you can use any ceramic bowls or ovenproof jars or cups. The secret is to fill them 2/3 of the way, not all the way through.

How to store the crème brulee?

To store the baked Keto custard, wrap the ramekins tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to serve them, sprinkle the sweetener on top and torch until caramelized.
