Hazelnut Coffee Creme Brulee made low carb and sugar free! Taste like a cup of hazelnut coffee in a creamy pudding form.
Do you have a foodie bucket list?
If you're a foodie like me and yearn to make anything you used to enjoy prior to being sugar free, there's a list.
And it's a huge list. I've come to the conclusion that pretty much anything can be made sugar free and low carb. And that excites me to no end.
Creme Brulee.
It's not even something I made at home before I became sugar free 11 years ago. But I sure enjoyed it whenever we went out to a nice restaurant.
It's that creamy center, that smooth texture, it is just the ultimate indulgence to me.
Now when you think of creme brulee you think blow torch right?
I don't have one and you don't need one to make this crusty sweet top crust. If you've got an oven and a broiler, you've got all you need.
You can also choose to NOT add the sweet topping and not brown it. Totally up to you.
But with it......heavenly.

Sugar Free Hazelnut Coffee Creme Brulee
Ingredients
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Hazelnut liquid stevia
- 2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon hazelnut extract
- ½ teaspoon coffee extract
- 1 tablespoon Brown swerve for crispy topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place the cream in a pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir then remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir, and let cool 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk yolks and the rest of the ingredients together until smooth. Add cream to yolk mixture a little at a time to temper. Stir continually while gradually adding the rest of the cream. Pour into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins. Place ramekins into a roasting pan. Pour hot water halfway up sides of ramekins in roasting pan.
- Bake until set, but center still trembling—about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Enjoy chilled or brown tops before serving. (When ready to serve, remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to browning tops.) Add a sprinkle of Brown Swerve over each dish. Broil 3-4 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before enjoying or chill again, if desired.

Hi, can I use light cream to reduce the calories? Thanks!
No light cream won't thicken as heavy cream does.
Is it still 2.8 get carbs with the coconut sugar? Can you get the crispy crust without it?
I believe the coconut sugar is optional. No crispy crust might not happen without some brown sugar sub, maybe try Sukrin brown sugar sub.
Oh wow! I would have never guessed that you could make creme brûlée sugar free!

That creme brulee looks absolutely perfect. I can't believe it's sugar free!
I actually bought a blow torch just so I could make my own creme brulees. Because who doesn't like the idea of purposely setting things on fire? 🙂 I like that you figured out a way to do it using more standard kitchen equipment, though.
Yes! I have a foodie bucket list too and I'm going to have to add this to the list! I've never tried to make creme brulee but it looks like a fun project!
Cremem brulee is one of my favorite desserts in the world, this looks lovely!
I would have never thought that creme brulee could be made sugar free. I'm curious about what you used for the topping that would get all browned and crunchy. I'm heading over to find out now. It looks wonderful!
