Low-Carb Chocolate Truffle Crème Brûlée

Recipe Description

Low-Carb Chocolate Truffle Crème Brûlée has only 8 grams of net carbs per serving! And if you’re trying to cut carbs or sugar, this recipe fits the bill either way. Well, even those who intend to maintain a healthy diet crave a dessert! And now you can satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking your diet plan.

This crème brûlée is rich, creamy, and extra chocolatey. The crunchy caramelized sugar on the top brings that textural contrast that makes this dessert so awesome. So try not to skip it because without it, well, it is nothing but a pudding! This recipe is also keto-friendly as it is grain- and gluten-free. And to be honest, it tastes even better to me than the traditional recipe.

To make the Low-Carb Chocolate Truffle Crème Brûlée, you will need the following ingredients:
