Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack to the middle position.
- Heat water in a tea kettle until hot, not boiling.
- Find a pan large enough to fit the 4 ramekins and deep enough to add water half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Chop the chocolate into slivers.
- Add the yolks and 1 tbsp of the granulated sweetener to a medium bowl. Beat well to completely break up the yolks.
- Pour the heavy cream into a small pot and add the remaining granulated sweetener, and stevia glycerite.
- Place the pot over medium heat and heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until bubbles begin to simmer around the edge of the pot.
- Turn off the heat and begin pouring the egg yolk into the hot cream mixture - very slowly in a thin stream, while quickly whisking all the while.
- Add the chopped chocolate and stir to melt and combine.
- Whisk in the brandy.
- Divide the chocolate truffle creme brulee mixture evenly between 4 ramekins.
- Place the ramekins into the pan and fill the pan with hot water half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Carefully place the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the very center of the creme brulee is barely jiggly - about the size of a nickle or a dime.
- Cool the chocolate truffle creme brulee in the water bath for an hour before removing to a rack to cool completely.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours but overnight is better.
- Before serving, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener or Swerve Granulated over the top of each creme brulee.
- Melt the sweetener with a culinary torch until it caramelizes, turning brown. Alternately, add a dollop of whipped cream to the top.
- Serve.
