Creme Brulee - Low Carb
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup light cream
- 2/3 cup Equal sugar substitute
- 7 large egg yolks
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- Put a kettle of water on to boil and get out 6 ramekins.
- Preheat oven to 325 with rack on lowest level.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the creams and sweetener to a near boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- While that heats, stir, don't whisk, the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl until evenly mixed.
- Remove the creams from the heat and cool briefly.
- Stir 1/4 c of warm cream into egg yolks, stirring until evenly mixed so eggs do not scramble.
- Add several more small batches of cream, stirring to mix.
- Gradually add rest of cream to egg mixture, stirring thoroughly.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Strain the mixture into a large pitcher.
- Fill each ramekin 3/4 full.
- Place each ramekin into a large roasting pan or shallow casserole.
- Place in the oven.
- Carefully pour boiling water in the roasting pan so that water comes half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Loosely cover with a sheet of tented foil.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes.
- When done, the custard will be slightly wiggly and loose in the center, but not wet.
- Transfer to a rack.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Carmelize the brown sugar on the top of each ramekin.
- This can be done with a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
- If using the broiler, surround the ramekins with ice to protect the custard from the heat.
- Serve at once.
