Keto Creme Brulee
Light, airy and silky-smooth! This keto creme brulee is a dairy free, incredibly delicious take on the classic French dessert. I used fresh vanilla bean to take this recipe to the next level. But it also tastes yum with vanilla extract.

EQUIPMENT
5 x 5-ounce ramekins (alternatively, 6 x 4-ounce ramekins or 4 x 6-ounce ramekins)
INGREDIENTS
1x
2x
3x
▢
2 cups / 500 ml coconut cream
▢
5 egg yolks large
▢
1/3 cup / 40g powdered erythritol (So Nourished)
▢
1 vanilla bean pods or 2 tsp vanilla extract
For Torching
▢
2 tbsp Golden erythritol
INSTRUCTIONS
Split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds. Place the seeds to one side.
Heat the coconut cream and the vanilla bean pod in a saucepan over a medium heat. Wait until the coconut cream starts to simmer and the first bubbles appear. Do not boil! Take off the heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes. (If you are using vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean, add it now.)
Add the egg yolks and the powdered erythritol to the mixing bowl with the vanilla bean seeds. Blend with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are pale, frothy and double the size.
Slowly add the (lukewarm) coconut cream to the egg yolk mix, whisking with a balloon whisk continuously.
Heat the oven to 325F / 160C.
Pour the creme brûlée mix into ramekins (just over 3/4 full) and place the ramekins into a casserole dish. Fill the casserole with boiled water that should reach 1/3 – 1/2 half-way up the ramekins. This helps the creme brûlées bake evenly and prevents splitting.
Bake for about 40 minutes until the top is golden and the centre retains a bit of a jiggle. They will firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Sprinkle with erythritol and torch using a blow torch until the low carb sugar substitute bubbles and goes brown. (Alternatively, place under the grill / broiler until browned.) Allow to cool at room temperature to harden, or you can place them back in the fridge.

The recipe makes 5 portions if you use 5 ounce ramekins or cups. I made this batch with 6-ounce cups and found my portion to be VERY FILLING. Use smaller ramekins if you can.
Add 1 tsp of Brandy or Grand Marnier for a grown-up version of this recipe!
