Looks great, can’t wait to try this recipe — thanks for sharing.
Okay.. that just made my mouth water.. seriously. lol Great recipe.
@sthprkbutterslovers The crunch of the almonds went really well with the smoothness of the creme brulee. I am glad you liked it!
awesome recipe!! i love how you changed it up by adding the almonds
@bowulf I’ve been considering bacon and maybe some parmesan on top melted with a hand held blow torch.
@BodybuildingTom I had the same thought, but I haven’t had the opportunity to try to tweak the America’s Test Kitchen recipe yet.
@TheBaconPwnage2 I know. The topping is excellent. If only I didn’t burn them or there was a better timer…
I just tried some of the almonds alone and OMG! It’s just like candy!
Nice Video, this reminds me of when I used to work at a french restaurant. I wonder if there’s a way (if it even exists) to use a low carb caramel for the topping.
@81HappyCat Following a low carb menu, this would just be another part of it. The fat fuels your daily movements not make you fat. You need to unlearn that eating fat makes you fat. It actually makes you full of energy and less hungry.
wow, so this really wouldnt make me gain weight? even w/ the fat & all?
@Robind0514 You are very welcome. I am glad to share the recipes I find.
@Ginlarsen Not sure, but I think coconut milk would have enough fat for it to work. It might be a bit too rich or coconutty for my taste, but you could certainly try it.
wonder if this would work using coconut milk?
@maryposa1978 I completely agree. I had the last one of the four, and it was awesome. The recipe is however on the shelf again for a few weeks. I think fruit pizza might be the next dessert I make likely next weekend.
@banded2live I hear you. I found myself talking to the screen as well knowing the future. It’s like I just said 30 seconds and it should be done, and off I go tempering and then filling the cups. ARGH! I thought about lopping it off or putting it into a bloopers reel, but I figured others would like to see my failures as well as success. Of course now someone will likely say if only I had more carbs, I would have remembered.
oh, yum!
That is so funny that you burned the almond topping, I kept worring about them while you were filling the baking dishes LOL …. Your great love your recipes.
Looks awesome, thanks for another great recipe!
@mac21268 With fridge space at a premium and no use for a meringue or whipped egg whites in my near future, they were doomed to be tossed. The yolk hold the flavor and most of the protein chains anyhow. If only I had some low fat followers in the family, I could have made them an omelet.
Bad boy! Wasting those egg whites! Otherwise, AWESOME, can’t wait to try this!
@keyahnee Most of the time, yes. The division of work is I cook most of the meals (that I am present for), and my wife does the dishes. I don’t think I have any more talent that she does in cooking, but I might care more about how things taste or am more perfectionist about the food.
As for why she does clean up or does the dishes, she forbids me from doing them. I think she has a greater level of or desire for perfection in that arena. So far it just works.
chef bowulf. thanks, you can cook. i guess you cook most of the family meals?
@lowcarb360 It is really good, and simple to make. You just have to remember keep an eye on the almonds.
@darcy031685 Nope just a guy who knows recipe geniuses…
