This White Chocolate Cream Brulee is a bit on the lighter side and would make a great dessert any time!

We interrupt your healthy eating habits to bring you a little dessert! But don’t worry it is on the lighter calorie side so it would be totally fine if you indulged in one of these tasty treats (plus I would never tell anyone!) Creme Brulee is one of my go to sweets when we go out to dinner. We have a couple fantastic restaurants in town that are known for these dinner ending desserts. While I’m sure theirs are made with a lot more calories, this version didn’t seem to skim on texture or flavor.

Have you been intimidated to try and make it at home? Well don’t be, this White Chocolate Creme Brulee takes about 20 minutes to assemble and trust me, it is not hard to do. So, who’s with me for taking a little detour from our resolutions? What happens on the blog, stays on the blog!

You may have noticed that the tops of the brulee looks different from other versions that have a layer of sugar on top, then torched to crisp up and harden the sugar. This version has you melt some sugar in a heavy skillet and then drizzle it over the dessert. The effect is still the same with getting crunchy sugar and sweetness topping the creamy custard. I think I may use this technique in the future too even though I have a torch. I loved biting into the custard and getting little strands of the crystallized sugar. It was fantastic!

As you know Valentine’s day is coming soon and these would be a great ending to that romantic dinner you are making! We originally had these over the Christmas holiday but they would be great any time. One word of caution, you must use real white chocolate and do not use white chocolate chips or something similar. It would definitely not turn out and I want you to shine when you serve this to that someone special!
