Healthy Creme Brulee for breakfast? No, I haven’t lost my mind! The custard is made of yogurt and fruit preserves, topped with fresh fruit.

Healthy Creme Brulee

This healthy creme brulee recipe uses yogurt in place of custard. It’s great for breakfast or even dessert. It’s also super easy to make, with just 4 ingredients! Use your favorite fruit preserves and top with the same fresh fruit. Feel free to play around with the yogurt, I opted for sugar free and mixed a little sugar in to sweeten it. You can also use vanilla yogurt, or any flavor you wish.

Yogurt Creme Brulee

I highly recommend using a creme brulee torch. I’ve tried using my broiler to caramelize the sugar with success most of the time, but it’s much easier to control this with a torch.

How To Make Yogurt Creme Brulee Ahead

This healthy creme brulee recipe is written for one but you can scale it up to as many as you like; assemble the preserves and yogurt ahead of time then add the sugar right when you are about to torch the sugar. If you add the sugar sooner, the sugar will be absorbed by the yogurt and it won’t work. I recommend serving immediately. Enjoy!!

  1. How do I broil this without the cooking the yogurt? I just tried to make this and by the time the sugar caramelized the yogurt was hot and curdled. My broiler is electric, is that the problem?

  2. for the jam — try natures hollow sugar free peach preserves. they're made with xylitol. tastes just like peach pie .. it's amazing.

    This is so great – I made it again this morning. I finally bought a torch and it came up much better!

  4. Update: Made an oatmeal version – and it was AMAZING. Raspberry preserves on the bottom, and to 1 cup of cooked oatmeal added a chopped banana and 2 Tbsp Better'n Peanut Butter. Assemble per original instructions. Top with a couple of fresh raspberries. Makes 2 servings. PointsPlus: 7 per the recipe builder, 5 per the tracker. Go figure.

  5. Just made this for dessert, using low sugar raspberry jam and raspberries on top. It was a little sweet, using the Trader Joe's Vanilla Greek Yogurt. I think next time I'll just muddle a handful of raspberries with a little red wine vinegar to put at the bottom. I'm going to try the Oatmeal one another reader suggested – that sounds great!

  6. This was great! I used no sugar added strawberry preserves, and Yoplait Honey Vanilla Greek yogurt. It felt like a decadent dessert!

  7. Delicious! Just made this for our dessert! My husband and I love it. I used Honey/Strawberry Greek Yogurt and raspberry sugar on top. Perfection! Great recipe!

  14. @Gina,

    The oatmeal brulee at our restaurant does have jam on the bottom, then a layer of steel-cut oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, then the brulee sugar crust on the top. No yogurt. It's delicious.

    I have to try your recipe–it just sounds fabulous.

  15. oh gee you got my heart to skip a beat! dessert and practically guilt free! love it! going to make these this weekend! thanks!

  16. This is brilliant! I love Greek yogurt and raspberry preserves. Will definitely be putting my torch to use on this soon.

  17. haha, didn't realize you already have vanilla greek yogurt as the ingredient. you're awesome, can't wait to try this!

    I'm sure soy yogurt would work, as long as the yogurt isn't to wet, any yogurt should be ok.

    I would broil on high close to the flame, keeping an eye on it.

    Shoelover, yogurt creme brûlée?

  19. YUM!

    A local restaurant does the same thing with oatmeal. Jam on the bottom, brulee on the top. It's fantastic.

  20. I'm so into greek yogurt right now, and this looks so good! I can't wait to try it with Marionberry preserves and fresh marionberries this summer!

    What a FANTASTIC concept! Wish this post had existed a couple days ago as it would have been a perfect addition to my Sunday brunch. Next time. 🙂

  23. Sounds awesome… my hubby's birthday is coming up and I was looking for something special to make, thanks!
    Question… if I was to make this in the broiler would you put it on hi or low and aprox. how far from the broiler would you position the creme brulee?

    It was delicious, and took me like 5 minutes to make. I'll be making this often!

    A broiler would work but the torch works better.

    Brilliant. I adore creme brulee, but the typical high-fat custard keeps me from eating it regularly. THIS I could eat every day :).

  27. That looks so elegant! I definitely have to try this. I'm not a fan of real creme brulee (not a fan of custards in general) but I love yogurt and I love, Love, LOVE burnt sugar!

    What a fantastic idea!

    1. I've done it under the broiler- it works but it definitely isn't as pretty as with a torch. Tastes just as good though 🙂
