Healthy Creme Brulee
This Healthy Creme Brulee offers a lighter take on the classic dessert by using fat-free yogurt sweetened with low-sugar strawberry preserves and turbinado sugar. The creamy yogurt base is topped with a caramelized sugar crust created by torching the raw sugar on top, resulting in a contrast between the cool, tangy yogurt and the crisp, lightly browned sugar layer. Finished with fresh strawberry slices, this version is both refreshing and indulgent without heavy cream.
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
- Place fruit preserves at the bottom of a 6 or 7 oz ramekin.
- 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.
- Cool a few minutes then top with fruit. Serve immediately.
