CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's 104-Calorie Creme Brulee
Hip Hip Brulee!
This calorie-cutting custard is creamy enough to satisfy even the PICKIEST
creme brulee fans, so get ready to INDULGE! BTW, this recipe was co-
developed with the QUEEN of creme brulee herself, our pal Debbie!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 cup fat-free half & half
3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. brown sugar (not packed)
1 1/2 tsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tsp. granulated white sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium pot, combine milk, half & half,
and brown sugar. Bring to medium heat on the stove. Stir and cook until the
sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot. Stir in the powdered creamer,
blending well. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix the egg substitute and vanilla extract together.
Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture. Set four 4-ounce baking ramekins or
custard cups in a deep baking dish. Evenly distribute the custard mixture into
the cups.
Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish, around the cups, being careful
not to splash any water into the custard (or on yourself!). The water should
come about halfway up the outsides of the custard cups. Carefully transfer
pan to the oven, and bake for about 28 minutes, until custards are set.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool, and then refrigerate custard cups until
completely chilled. Once ready to serve, top each custard cup with 1 tsp.
white sugar. Using a hand-held butane kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar
(in other words, blast with fire 'til browned). Enjoy! MAKES 4 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Creme Brulee, Average
Creme No-Way!
Creme brulee is a nutritional nightmare. DOY. The main ingredients are egg
YOLKS, heavy cream, and sugar! Chances are, you're already sitting down
(since you're at a computer), but we just want to make sure that you are
before we lay these stats on you. So if you're standing, park it! Your average
sugar-crusted custard will run you (DEEP BREATH!) about 495 calories and
41 grams of fat! And it COULD be even more (think oversized restaurant
servings and sugar-happy chefs!). But creme brulee is DELICIOUS. Rich,
creamy, sweet -- with a layer of INCREDIBLE caramelized sugar on top.
Mmmmmm... Do yourself (and your pants) a favor, and skip restaurant and
other homemade versions -- stick with our 104-calorie swap.
