Carnivore Crème Brûlée (Fresh Out of the Oven)
Description
This Carnivore Crème Brûlée is a luxurious, silky-smooth dessert that fits perfectly into a low-carb, animal-based lifestyle. Made with just eggs, heavy cream, and optional vanilla, it delivers deep custard flavor with a warm, creamy texture. Instead of a traditional sugar crust, this version focuses on pure richness and natural sweetness from dairy and eggs — perfect for when you want a guilt-free indulgence.
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
-
4 large egg yolks
-
1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
-
Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
-
Butter or tallow (for greasing ramekins)
🔥 Instructions
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). -
Heat the Cream
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat. -
Whisk Yolks
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with vanilla and salt until smooth. -
Temper the Eggs
Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling. -
Prepare Ramekins
Lightly grease ramekins with butter or tallow and place them in a baking dish. -
Fill & Bake (Water Bath)
Pour custard into ramekins. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly. -
Cool & Chill
Remove and cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

❓ Related Questions
Is this 100% carnivore?
Yes, if you skip the vanilla. With vanilla, it becomes “animal-based” rather than strict carnivore.
Can I use whole eggs instead of yolks?
Yes, but the texture will be firmer and less creamy.
How long does it last in the fridge?
Up to 3 days when stored covered.
Can I freeze it?
Not recommended — it changes the custard’s texture.
