Ingredients

1 C. Heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp. Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
¼ tsp. Almond extract
2 Egg Yolks
2-3 Tbsp. Swerve granulated sweetener
Mini kitchen torch

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a pot over medium heat on the stove, add the heavy whipping cream and confectioners sugar substitute. Whisk to combine.
Cook the cream mixture until it comes to a simmer, and then remove from the heat.
Whisk together two egg yolks, the vanilla extract and the almond extract in a bowl until well combined.
Spoon in a large spoonful of the heated cream mixture, and whisk quickly to temper it with the egg yolks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture slowly into the cream mixture, whisking the entire time.
Distribute the mixture evenly between two ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a casserole dish with a bit of water in the bottom, creating a water bath.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the custard has set in the center of the creme brulee.
Let the creme brulee cool to room temperature.
Add 1-2 tbsp of granulated sweetener to the top of each creme brulee, and use a kitchen torch to caramelize and harden it to a crust before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have a kitchen torch, the sweetener can be browned by placing the cups under the broiler on high. Can be served with sliced fruit and whipped cream.
