Creme Brulee is nearly a perfect low carb dish

Just made some & it's so simple. It's also very, very good. I used Alton Brown's recipe and subbed the sugar in the creme with bulk splenda (Kroger brand) and for the sugar on top, maltitol. (any sugar alcohol will do, just need a sweetener that will melt and form a hard crust. Splenda won't)

It's not quite as sweet as the original, but with some fresh berries on top it will be just as good.

You are right, and we love it.
