Chocolate Keto Crème Brûlée with Keystone Pantry Allulose

A Decadent Twist on a Classic

Chocolate has a way of transforming everything it touches into pure indulgence, and crème brûlée is no exception. Imagine dipping your spoon into a glossy layer of caramelized sweetness, then sinking into the silkiest, richest chocolate custard you’ve ever tasted. It’s smooth, it’s luscious, and it whispers luxury with every bite.

Traditionally, chocolate crème brûlée is a sugar-heavy dessert reserved for indulgence days—but not anymore. With Keystone Pantry Allulose and sugar-free dark chocolate chips, you can enjoy this French classic with zero sugar, low carbs, and keto-friendly perfection. It’s proof that chocolate and elegance can be guilt-free.

Why These Ingredients Make Magic

Heavy Cream (1 ¾ cups) – Chocolate loves cream. It smooths out chocolate’s natural bitterness and provides the velvety mouthfeel that makes crème brûlée so irresistible.

Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate (4 oz, sweetened with Keystone Pantry Allulose) – Deep, complex, slightly bitter notes from dark chocolate are the star of this custard. Using allulose-sweetened chocolate keeps the recipe indulgent but keto-friendly.

Egg Yolks (5 large) – Yolks provide structure and silkiness. When baked gently, they thicken into custard without heaviness, creating that spoon-coating richness.

Keystone Pantry Allulose (½ cup total) – Used in both the custard and as the brûlée topping. Allulose caramelizes just like sugar, delivering that essential crackly top. It’s the secret to making this dessert sugar-free without compromise.

Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Vanilla may seem subtle, but here it enhances chocolate’s complexity and rounds out its natural bitterness.

Pinch of Salt – Just enough to heighten flavors. Salt deepens chocolate’s richness and balances sweetness.

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Heat the cream & melt chocolate – Warm the cream until steaming, then stir in chocolate until silky and smooth. The aroma will fill your kitchen with cocoa perfume.

2. Whisk the yolks – In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, ⅓ cup allulose, vanilla, and salt until pale yellow and creamy.

3. Temper gently – Slowly whisk the warm chocolate cream into the yolks. This gradual process keeps the eggs from scrambling and ensures a custard base that’s perfectly smooth.

4. Strain for luxury – Pour the custard through a fine sieve. This removes any tiny lumps and guarantees that spoon-coating silkiness.

5. Bake in a water bath – Divide into 4 ramekins, nestle them in a baking dish, and fill halfway with hot water. Bake at 325°F for 35–40 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.

6. Chill to perfection – Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours. The chilling step is what transforms custard into velvet.

7. Brûlée moment – Sprinkle 1–2 tsp allulose over each custard, torch until golden and glassy, then wait a minute for the caramel top to harden.
