Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sweetener until smooth and slightly creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and heavy cream. Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Gradually pour the warm milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher or large measuring cup to remove any lumps and create a silky custard base.
Place four 6-ounce ramekins in a deep baking dish. Divide the custard mixture evenly between the ramekins.
Pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins until the water reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help the custard cook gently and evenly.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges of the custards are set but the centers still have a slight jiggle.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature before covering them with plastic wrap and refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp golden crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Allow the caramelized tops to cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your creamy, guilt-free creme brulee!
