Do you need ramekins to make creme brulee?

I think ramekins work best, but you can use any oven-safe dishes for this.

Do you need a blow torch to make creme brulee?

While the easiest way to melt and caramelize the sugar on top of the brulee is by using a blow torch, you don’t really need one.

You can set the oven broiler on high and place the ramekin with sugar on top inside.

The broiler will melt and caramelize the sugar within 1-2 minutes. Make sure you keep a close eye on it.

Some people use a grill lighter to melt the sugar, but I have not tried this method.

What ingredients do I need to make Keto, Low-carb creme brulee?

Put those ingredients together and you`ll have a keto dessert that brings a well-spiced finish to your evening. So indulgent, yet amazingly on-plan.

• egg yolks
• Swerve Sweetener

• vanilla extract

How to make this low-carb creme brulee?

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 4 ramekins in a large roasting pan. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
2. Place heavy cream and 1 tbsp of the sweetener in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
3. Separate the eggs by cracking them and placing whites and yolks in separate bowls. This recipe only calls for yolks, so cover the egg white bowl with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for another recipe.
4. In a bowl, combine egg yolks and 4 tbsp sweetener. Add vanilla. Whisk until the sweetener has been incorporated.
5. Add 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture back to the pot with heavy cream. Whisk to combine.
6. Divide mixture between 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in the baking dish. Pour about 2-3 cups hot water inside the baking dish so it covers about 1-inch of the ramekins. The water makes the cream cook gently and evenly for a creamy and smooth result.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the tops are set, but still wiggly.
8. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let cool to room temperature.
9. Cover each ramekin and refrigerate.
10. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sweetener on top of each brûlée and using a kitchen torch melt until it caramelizes.
11. You can enjoy this dessert either lukewarm or cold, preferably with a clementine segment on top.
