Keto Orange and Cardamom Creme Brulee

Embark on a journey of culinary indulgence with this exquisite Keto orange and cardamom creme brulee—a symphony of flavors designed for those seeking healthy desserts for two. This delightful Keto dessert for 2 seamlessly blends the richness of heavy cream with the citrusy zest of orange and the aromatic essence of cardamom, creating an enchanting treat that's low in carbs but high in satisfaction.

How do you successfully make Keto creme brulee?

Achieving the perfect Keto creme brulee involves a delicate balance of ingredients and precise execution. In this recipe, the combination of egg yolks, heavy cream, and granulated allulose forms the creamy base. Vigilant whisking over medium heat ensures the custard reaches the right consistency—thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Straining the mixture and baking it in a water bath contribute to the velvety texture and prevent overcooking. The result is a Keto creme brulee with a decadent, silky-smooth consistency.

How can you customize this recipe?

Customizing this Keto creme brulee allows you to tailor it to your taste preferences. Experiment with various citrus infusions by incorporating lemon or lime zest for a refreshing twist. For those who enjoy a hint of spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg along with, or in place of, cardamom. Adjusting the sweetness level is also within your control—simply modify the quantity of allulose to suit your desired taste. The versatility of this recipe encourages creativity, letting you craft a personalized version of this classic dessert.

How long will this creme brulee last?

While this dessert is best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days. The custard might slightly change in texture but will maintain its delightful flavor. To preserve the crispy caramelized top, it's recommended to caramelize the allulose just before serving. This way, you can relish the lusciousness of this Keto dessert over multiple sittings.

  • Step 1

    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Whisk the mixture for 10 minutes or until you can make a mark with your finger on the back of a wooden spoon when dipped. Strain the mixture through a sieve, then transfer it to 2 individual ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking tray filled with water (water should reach the middle of each ramekin).
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they have set and are coming away slightly from the sides. Allow to cool before putting in the fridge overnight. To serve, take the ramekins out of the refrigerator and sprinkle with a layer of allulose. Caramelize the sweetener on top, either by putting the ramekins under a hot broiler for a few minutes until it's golden or by using a blow torch.
