In the spirit of all things pumpkin spice, we are sharing a Sugar-Free Pumpkin Creme Brulee recipe to knock off your fall-themed socks!
Sugar-Free Pumpkin Creme Brulee Recipe:
Creme Brulee seems like a decedent caviar dreams type dessert, but in England, it was originally known as “burnt cream.”
That changes things a bit now. I imagine a young new wife preparing her first custard and apologetically placing it on the table burnt while her new husband squints and lovingly takes a bite. To everyone’s surprise, this burnt cream is delicious, so they share the recipe with everyone in town.
Of course, the older wives in the village can’t possibly share something called burnt cream, so they rename it, and the rest is history.
Or is it her story? 😉
This recipe calls for vanilla extract, but the chocolate, orange, or fruit-flavored creme brulee is also delicious!
Sugar-Free Creme Brulee Ingredients:
2 ½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
4 Egg Yolks
½ Cup Pumpkin Puree
6 Tbs. Monkfruit Sugar
1 Tbs. Vanilla Extract
½ tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice or Cinnamon
½ tsp Salt
6 Creme Brulee Ramekins
Low Carb Pumpkin Creme Brulee Directions:
In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and monk fruit sugar until creamy, and set aside.
Bring the 2 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream in a medium pot to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Slowly pour the heavy cream into the egg mixture, stirring the whole time.
Then, place the bowl over a medium pot filled ¼ of the way with boiling water. Or, if you have a double boiler, put the mixture into that instead.
To boil the water, cook the mixture on top for about 4 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
Remove from heat, and add in the pumpkin, vanilla, spices, and salt.
Pour about ¾ of a cup into six ramekins, and set them into a large baking pan.
Fill the baking pan with boiling water until the water reaches halfway up the ramekins.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. The creme brulee should be slightly firm and golden on top.
Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill.
Set your oven to a high broil.
Sprinkle monk fruit sugar over each creme brulee, and place in the oven for a minute or two.
I recommend keeping the oven door open and keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Enjoy immediately!
