Healthy Creme Brulee
Description
Healthy Creme Brulee replaces the traditional custard with plain fat-free yogurt combined with low-sugar strawberry preserves, providing a fruity and tart foundation. The preparation involves layering fruit preserves at the bottom of a ramekin followed by sweetened yogurt, then topping it with turbinado sugar which is caramelized with a culinary torch to create the characteristic crisp topping. The torching step is best done just before serving to prevent the sugar from dissolving into the yogurt. Final garnishing with fresh strawberry slices adds both color and a fresh note.
The dessert offers a balance of creamy texture from the yogurt and a crisp caramel topping that cracks when tapped. The use of fruit preserves gives subtle sweetness and berry flavor while avoiding added fats, making it a lighter dessert option. It can be served immediately after torching for best texture and temperature contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Strawberry Preserves low-sugar
- 6 ounces plain fat-free yogurt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (or sugar in the raw)
- 1 strawberry sliced, for topping
Instructions

- Combine yogurt with 1/2 tablespoon sugar, the add to the ramekin. When ready to eat, top with the sugar (make sure you are ready with the torch so the sugar doesn't dissolve).
- Use a torch to melt the sugar and form a crispy top.
