Gingerbread Crème Brûlée : Thanksgiving / Autumn Dessert : Low Carb


By putting this creamy custard, and gingerbread flavour together, it makes a nice Thanksgiving or Autumnal (Fall) low carb/keto dessert that brings a well-spiced finish to your evening meal. For those in the Southern Hemisphere I'm sure it could be enjoyed in the Spring season too!

Ingredients
Serves Six
3g net carbs per serving
425 ml (1¾ cups) heavy (double) whipping cream
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp (25 g) erythritol
¼ tsp vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
½ clementine (optional)

Tip
This recipe uses pumpkin pie spice. If you can't find it, you can make your own by using this recipe or by mixing equal amounts of ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves.

Clementines
Small and sweet, clementines are a hybrid of tangerines and oranges. Easy to peel and exceptionally sweet, there are over 20 varieties of clementine. The fruit will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

Some recipes you may like to try:
Clementine Almond Cake, it's low carb and flourless - more details here
Christmas Salad, it's so colourful and low in carbs too - more details here
Clementine Prosecco Cocktail, it's nice but 13.5g carbs per serving - more details here

Just a reminder
It seems many of us are still experiencing problems with blogger, especially with comments going into the spam folder.

Just recently a known blogger friend left two comments on this blog one came through as normal and the other went in the spam folder! Why I do not know, but it is very important to check your spam folder daily.

All the best Jan

  5. Not for me. I really don't like gingerbread. I hear you on the spam folder. Sigh. Somedays blogger puts my own comments on my own blog into that folder.

  17. Hi Jan and Eddie, The Gingerbread Crème Brûlée … oh my goodness, does that look delicious or what? Wow. You know, when my Manager and I go out for dinner, I love to look for Crème Brûlée on the dessert menu. I figured making it at home might be challenging but your recipe looks pretty straight forward. I’ll put it on my list of Recipes to Try. 😊 Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK? Either way, I send you best regards from Seattle. And thank you for your kind comments on my blog. John
