How to Make keto creme brulee

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place four ramekins in a baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: Heat the Cream

In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Whisk the Egg Yolks

In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, powdered erythritol, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Step 4: Temper the Eggs

Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.

Step 5: Bake in a Water Bath

Pour the custard mixture into ramekins. Add hot water to the baking dish, about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 35–40 minutes, until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 6: Chill

Remove ramekins from water bath and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Sprinkle granulated erythritol evenly on top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

For the Custard:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 large egg yolks
• ¼ cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener, adjust to taste
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

• 2 –3 tsp granulated erythritol for caramelizing

Equipment

• 4 ramekins
• Baking dish for water bath
• Saucepan
• Whisk
• Kitchen torch (or broiler)

Method

 

Preheat oven

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place 4 ramekins in a baking dish with high sides.

Heat the cream

1. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.

Whisk the yolks and sweetener

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and slightly pale.

Temper the eggs

1. Slowly pour the hot cream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Pour into ramekins

1. Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins.

Bake in a water bath

1. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Chill

1. Remove ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Caramelize the topping

1. Sprinkle granulated erythritol evenly over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy. If you don’t have a torch, broil briefly in the oven while watching carefully.

Serve

1. Let the sugar harden for 1–2 minutes, then serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or coffee extract to the custard.

Make ahead: Custard can be made up to 24 hours in advance; caramelize just before serving.

To prevent the custard from cracking, avoid overbaking and let it cool gradually.
