Equipment

Materials

1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
4 Egg Yolks
1/4 cup Allulose
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste You can use extract by substituting the same amount of paste for extract.
1 tsp Cognac or Brandy
2+ tbsp Swerve Icing Sugar (Powdered) Or other sweetener.

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
Place 4 ramekins in oven safe custard cups in a baking pan and set aside
Heat cream, vanilla and brandy in a small to medium sized sauce pan until cream begins to simmer on edges of pan.
Set aside to infuse the vanilla flavour into the cream for 10 to 15 minutes with the saucepan lid on.
Whisk egg yolks with ¼ cup of Allulose until it is thick and lemon yellow. This should take a couple of minutes.
Boil water in a kettle for water bath.
Add 1/3 cup of cream to egg mixture and then the rest of the cream a little at a time, stirring continually.
Pour the liquid into the 4 ramekins that are in the baking pan.
Pour enough hot water into the pan for a water bath that comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake until custard is set but still has a slightly wiggly centre, 35 to 40 minutes for deeper cups, 25-30 minutes for shallow ramekins.
Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on wire racks.
Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours – but, not for more than 2 days.
Remove the Crème Brûlée from the refrigerator for a few minutes prior to browning the sugar on top.
Divide the Lakanto sweetener among the ramekins dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top.
Garnish if desired with a strawberry or other garnish and serve.
