Creme Brulee For The Keto Girl
Before I went on a low carb lifestyle, creme brulee was my all time favorite dessert. This is why I am so excited to bring you creme brulee for the keto girl. It is so delicious, rich and creamy. You will never know that it is sugar free, low carb and perfect for the keto girl. Make it for your friends and family like I did, and they will never know the difference.
This recipe calls for the creme brulee to be placed in ramekins, which is the easiest way, but I understand not everyone has ramekins, so you can use any dish, as long as it is oven proof.
The caramelization that occurs on top can be achieved with a kitchen torch, or in my house, my husband ‘s cigar torch thingy? It’s a thing… really. Since most people don’t have a kitchen torch in their kitchens, you can achieve this caramelization by placing the ramekin with freshly sprinkled granular sugar directly under the broiler for a quick minute, or sooner. Be sure to check frequently so it does not burn.
