KETO SALTED CARAMEL CRÈME BRÛLÉE
I have a feeling that you will also love this Keto Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee! I love the juxtaposition of textures — the cold velvety custard contrasting the warm caramel topping. Like everyone else who is addicted to this dessert, the best part is the moment of breaking into the caramel shell.
WHERE DID CRÈME BRÛLÉE ORIGINATE?
It’s hard to say where this delicious dessert originated. France, England, and Spain all claim to be the source of origin for Crème Brûlée. If we think in terms of ‘evidence’ validating its origin, we might side with the French. The first printed recipe for this burst cream dessert appeared in the 1691 edition of the French cookbook Le Cuisinier Royal et Bourgeois by Francois Massialot, a cook at the Palace of Versailles.
WHAT IS CRÈME BRÛLÉE?
This Keto Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee is a rendition of the classic Crème brûlée, also known as burned cream, burnt cream, or Trinity cream. It is similar to Crema Catalana, is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hardened caramelized sugar.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS CRÈME BRÛLÉE IS MADE?
Is there a certain way to prepare Keto Low-Carb Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee? There is a great deal of hoopla from experts about how Crème Brûlée custard should be cooked. Some swear by the saucepan, while others insist on the oven. Julia Child used a saucepan with a pinch of cornstarch. Chef Gordon Ramsay insists on baking his Crème Brûlée in a bain-marie in the oven, later un-molding the ramekins like a Crème Caramel. Lots of home cooks refrain from making this dessert because they don’t own a kitchen torch. (Neither do I). It seems silly to buy a torch just to make this simple and inexpensive dessert. The cost of the torch far outweighs the cost of the dessert!

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF KETO SALTED-CARAMEL CRÈME BRÛLÉE?
Pasture-raised egg yolks are the main ingredient in this Keto Low-Carb Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee. There’s a lot to like about egg yolks. Pasture-raised egg yolks are an excellent source of nutrition. They are rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health. One large, pasture-raised egg yolk contains approximately 55 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein.
In terms of vitamins, pasture-raised egg yolks are particularly high in vitamin D, which is important for bone health and immune function. They also contain vitamin A, which is important for vision and skin health, and vitamin B12, which is important for brain function and the production of red blood cells. In addition to vitamins, pasture-raised egg yolks are also a good source of minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and selenium. Iron is important for the production of red blood cells, while phosphorus is important for bone health and energy metabolism. Selenium is important for immune function and is also an antioxidant that can help protect against cellular damage. That said, pasture-raised egg yolks are a highly nutritious food that can provide many health benefits as part of a balanced diet.
WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE FOR KETO SALTED-CARAMEL CRÈME BRÛLÉE?
The predominant taste sensations in Keto Low-Carb Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee are richness (fattiness) and sweetness. The mouth feel is super velvety contrasting nicely with the crunchy topping and salt.
WHAT NON ALC WINE HARMONIZES WITH KETO SALTED-CARAMEL CRÈME BRÛLÉE?
Keto Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee is the ideal dessert for wine because it’s not too sweet, thus allowing the non alcoholic wine to take center stage. When pairing wine with sweet desserts make sure the non-alc wine is sweeter than the dessert. Why? Because sweeter desserts alter the character of the wine’s acidity. This cause and effect causes the wine to then taste rancid. When it comes to choosing a non alcoholic wine we have a couple of options. Drink whatever you like and don’t worry about pairing the wine to this dessert.
Or, add a pinch of monk fruit sweetener to your wine glass bringing up the sweetness to harmonize with the dessert. Or, add walnuts to the creme brulee to heighten the pleasant bitterness in the dessert, cut back on the sweetener, and increase the saltiness. This will make the dessert taste less sweet. Pair the acidity in a dry non-alc wine or brut sparkling wine against that bitterness and saltiness, helping to create a bridge between the wine and desert.
Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:
ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:
To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar. Additionally, alcohol does not align with a keto diet or low-carb lifestyle. Moreover, your liver processes alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Furthermore, your body will metabolize alcohol as fuel before utilizing food, which can decelerate fat burning and may lead to the storage of carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Moreover, alcohol consumption stimulates the appetite, potentially causing overeating.
ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:
Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.
NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:
Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.

Description
Indulge in the irresistible flavors of Keto Salted-Caramel Creme Brulee with delicious non-alcoholic bubbly.
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon caramel extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Swerve Brown Sugar, divide
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment.
- Mix Egg Yolks: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, caramel extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Heat Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of Swerve Brown Sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally and ensure it doesn’t boil.
- Combine Mixtures: Once the cream is heated but not boiling, slowly pour it into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. This tempering process ensures the eggs don’t scramble.
- Divide Mixture: Divide the resulting custard mixture evenly among 4 ramekins.
- Prepare Water Bath: Place the filled ramekins in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with about 1 inch of water, creating a water bath around the ramekins. This gentle cooking method helps prevent the custard from curdling.
- Bake: Carefully transfer the baking dish with the ramekins to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Caramelize Sugar: Remove the ramekins from the oven and sprinkle each with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Swerve Brown Sugar. Turn on the broiler in your oven and place the ramekins under it until the sugar caramelizes and forms a golden crust. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Cool and Chill: Once caramelized, remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly at room temperature. Then, refrigerate them until chilled and ready to serve.
- Serve: Before serving, you can optionally garnish with a sprinkle of additional Swerve Brown Sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
