Cream brulee without sugar
Origin of the recipe
A refined French dessert made from a sweet and delicate creamy egg custard baked in the oven (crème bleu, which translates as "burnt cream") is perfectly suitable for those avoiding simple carbohydrates. Of course, if you don't use sugar, you'll have to forgo the caramelization of the crust, but cinnamon can give it a "dark" color.

Cooking tips
Ramekins are small ceramic baking dishes. Crème brûlée is traditionally made in them because it won't bake evenly in other dishes.
It's best to use a round silicone baking pan with fairly high sides – the ramekins will be placed more evenly in it.
You can use erythritol or any other sweetener you are used to as a sugar substitute.
