How to Make Creme Brulee Low Fat

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine low-fat heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract until light and frothy. Add a few tablespoons of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture into the remaining cream mixture.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
Pour the custard evenly into six (6-ounce) ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are just set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Just before serving, sprinkle each ramekin generously with granulated sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crisp. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil them in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat Crème Brûlée!
