Equipment

  • 1 culinary kitchen torch

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz 2% greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 4 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • fresh fruit for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix the vanilla and the yogurt. To make this extra easy, use vanilla greek yogurt.
  • Divide the yogurt among four 6 or 8-ounce creme brulee ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in the freezer, uncovered for about 15 minutes to firm the tops. This will make the sugar easier to caramelize.
  • Remove from the freezer and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over each of the ramekins. Caramelize the sugar with a culinary torch by slowly sweeping the flame back and forth until brown spots appear and the sugar begins to harden. Top with fresh fruit, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, caramelize the sugar right before serving.
