Breakfast Creme Brulee
What a fancy way to serve breakfast or even dessert with very little effort while making you look like a rock star in the kitchen! Perfect for those special occasions or even Valentine’s Day. Other recipes you may like are Chocolate Crepes with Strawberries or Red Velvet Pancake with Cream Cheese Topping.
This recipe is so easy to make, and it’s absolutely delicious! Use your favorite fruit preserves and top with the same fresh fruit. 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
.
This would be perfect for a Mother’s day brunch or dessert if you’re having a dinner party. Be sure you have enough fuel in your torch and you may want to experiment with one before you making this for a large crowd.
This can be made for one or more than a dozen; 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!!
Breakfast Creme Brulee
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp low sugar strawberry preserves
- 6 oz fat free vanilla Greek yogurt, I used Chobani
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar, sugar in the raw
- 1 sliced strawberry to top
Instructions
- Place fruit preserves at the bottom of a 6 or 7 oz ramekin.
- Top with yogurt. When ready to serve top with sugar.
- Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top.
- Cool a few minutes then top with fruit. Serve immediately.
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?
for the jam — try natures hollow sugar free peach preserves. they're made with xylitol. tastes just like peach pie .. it's amazing.
can you use something else besides sugar?
This is so great – I made it again this morning. I finally bought a torch and it came up much better!
Sure, points would be the same.
Can I use regular sugar? And if I do how much will the we pointplus be?
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.
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!
This was great! I used no sugar added strawberry preserves, and Yoplait Honey Vanilla Greek yogurt. It felt like a decadent dessert!
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!
Wow this is a great idea! You get the look and texture of the dessert but in a healthy way!
No, the yogurt doesn't get warm, only the sugar on top.
This might be a strange question, but does using the torch make it a warm breakfast? I hope so!
How fantastic is this? WOWEE!! Can't wait to try it! THANKS GINA!
What an ingenious idea!
Looks awesome, I must try this but as usual in my family will probably be the only one 🙂
That looks amazing, we are definitely going to try this soon. We have shared it with our gluten-free fans on www.facebook.com/glutenista too!
