Keto Creme Brulee

The Instant Pot makes this super easy but you can bake it in the oven too.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Heavy whipping cream 38% M.F.
  • 6 large egg yolk
  • 5 tbsp Swerve Sweetener confectioners (plus a little more for the topping)
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract pure (or use another flavour like orange, lemon, maple)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl combine heavy whipping cream, yolks, 3 tablespoons sweetener and vanilla.
  • Whisk together until well combined
  • Pour mixture into 6 small ramekins
  • Cover each ramekin individually with aluminum foil
  • Add one cup of water to the bottom of the inner pot
  • Place silicon steamer on top
  • Carefully place three ramekins into the steamer
  • Place the remaining three ramekins on top of the bottom three slightly offsetting them so that the bottom ones will support the top ones.
  • Close lid and make sure valve is set to seal
  • Cook on high pressure for 9 minutes.
  • Let rest for 15 minutes
  • Release steam and open lid
  • Let cool and refrigerate for at least a few hours ( it’s best served cold).
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Keto sweetener on top of each creme brûlée. I get the best results with Lakanto Golden Sweetener with Monk Fruit.
  • Using a hand torch, burn the sugar until it darkens. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area and be careful as you are working with an open flame.

Notes

If you don't have an Instant Pot, place the ramekins in a baking dish and add boiling water until it reaches 3/4 way up the ramekins. Place in a 325 degree over and bake for about 40 minutes. The custard should be just set but still a bit jiggly.
