Healthy, low sugar creme brulee recipe using only four whole ingredients as traditionally practiced for creamy decadence that is also loaded with healthy fats.
Ingredients
- 1 quart heavy cream preferably raw
- 8 egg yolks preferably pastured
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or sucanat
- 1 Tbl vanilla extract
Topping
- 8 tsp coconut sugar or sucanat
Instructions
-
Heat cream gently with vanilla but do not let it boil.
-
Beat egg yolks with coconut sugar (sucanat may be substituted if desired) until smooth and well blended. Beat vanilla and hot cream into yolk mixture.
-
Pour into eight 4-inch ramekins or other small, oven-safe dish (about 3/4 cup each). Set dishes in very shallow pans of warm water. Bake 45-60 minutes in a 300-degree oven until custard sets and forms a a crust on top.
-
Let custards cool, cover lightly with waxed paper and chill 4 hours in the refrigerator.
-
To serve, sprinkle 1 rounded teaspoon of coconut sugar or sucanat over the top of each. Place under the broiler until the sugar melts, being careful not to burn (it melts very quickly!). Let the ramekins cool and then return to refrigerator until melted sugar forms a crust. Serve very cold.
