Ingredients

​This recipe serves four people, and can be stored in the fridge if you need to make it ahead of time. Prep time is only 15 minutes, cooking takes a little longer, around 30 mins - 40 mins, including the time to chill.
  • 2 cartons double cream, 1 large (284ml) plus 1 small (142ml)
  • 100ml full-fat milk
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 50g golden caster sugar, plus extra for the topping

Directions

Lots of steps to this recipe, but it’s worth the effort as a special treat.
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Sit four 175ml ramekins in a deep roasting tin at least 7.5cm deep ( a large deep cake tin is a good alternative), one that will enable a baking tray to sit well above the ramekins when laid across the top of the tin.
  2. Pour the large and small cartons of double cream into a medium pan with 100ml full-fat milk.
  3. Lay 1 vanilla pod on a board and slice lengthways through the middle with a sharp knife to split it in two. Use the tip of the knife to scrape out all the tiny seeds into the cream mixture. Drop the vanilla pod in as well, and set aside.
  4. Put 5 large egg yolks and 50g golden caster sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk for 1 min with an electric hand whisk until paler in colour and a bit fluffy.
  5. Put the pan with the cream on medium heat and bring almost to the boil. As soon as you see bubbles appear round the edge, take the pan off the heat.
  6. Pour the hot cream into the beaten egg yolks, stirring with a wire whisk as you do so, and scraping out the seeds from the pan.
  7. Set a fine sieve over a large wide jug or bowl and pour the hot mixture through to strain it, encouraging any stray vanilla seeds through at the end.
  8. Using a big spoon, scoop off all the pale foam that is sitting on the top of the liquid (this will be several spoonfuls) and discard. Give the mixture a stir.
  9. Pour in enough hot tap water into the roasting tin to come about 1.5cm up the sides of the ramekins. Pour the hot cream into the ramekins so you fill them up, right to the top – it’s easier to spoon in the last little bit.
  10. Put them in the oven and lay a baking sheet over the top of the tin so it sits well above the ramekins and completely covers them, but not the whole tin, leaving a small gap at one side to allow air to circulate.
  11. Bake for 30-35 mins until the mixture is softly set. To check, gently sway the roasting tin and if the crème brûlées are ready, they will wobble a bit like a jelly in the middle. Don’t let them get too firm.
  12. Lift the ramekins out of the roasting tin with oven gloves and set them on a wire rack to cool for a couple of mins only, then put in the fridge to cool completely. This can be done overnight without affecting the texture.
  13. When ready to serve, wipe around the top edge of the dishes, sprinkle 1½ tsp of caster sugar over each ramekin and spread it out with the back of a spoon to completely cover.
  14. Spray with a little water using a fine spray bottle to just dampen the sugar – then use a blow torch to caramelise it. 
  15. Hold the flame just above the sugar and keep moving it round and round until caramelised. Serve when the brûlée is firm, or within an hour or two.

Yes, you can. We don't advocate for a 100% strict carnivore diet here unless you need it. If you want to be a carnivore nazi, there are other websites and groups for that.

Sugar? Having made regular desserts like this in the past, I feel like this IS a smaller amount of sugar than most would use, yet—and I say this respectfully—not what I think most expect to find when searching for a carnivore recipe on a carnivore website? Maybe it would be helpful to add an explanation for the sugar & amount of sugar (like is the sugar necessary for creating a certain reaction that there is not an alcohol sugar/keto sweetener substitute for? Or is this for people who can tolerate small amounts of sugar without falling back into addictive patterns?) I’m used to seeing keto-vore recipes when I look up carnivore stuff, but not ones using totally “forbidden” ingredients. It would be interesting and helpful to have a reason for the sugar—or even better—to find a ketovore sub for the sugar. Thanks for hearing my suggestion and have a great day!

Everyone can tolerate sugar. We know this to be true... because your liver is making sugar right now.

We also list our reason in the free lessons provided. Strict carnivore for healing, add plant foods back in when you're fixed.

If someone had an addictive nature and think that consuming sugar would not be good for their mindset, this clearly isn't the recipe for them.
