White Chocolate Crème Brulee (custard) with Strawberry Coulis (sauce)
White Chocolate Crème Brulee (custard) with Strawberry Coulis (sauce)
This is a ZReboot recipe. I adapted this recipe from the Ghiradelli white chocolate package. Most crème brulee recipes call for caramelizing sugar on top of the custard. I love that, but the sugar is too much. So in this case I made up a simple strawberry sauce to go on the top instead. With Plan Z Diet we work to reduce the carbohydrate count on a recipe but still keep the flavor. This recipe has about 10 grams of carbohydrates per serving. For a dessert, that’s pretty darn good. And for one this pretty and satisfying, it’s GREAT. You can also use raspberries or blackberries for your sauce if you prefer.
Servings: Serves 8
Ingredients:
For the Custard
4 egg yolks (save the whites for something else or toss them)

2 tsp of vanilla extract

1 quart of fresh strawberries
