Ingredients

  • 12 fluid ounces evaporated lowfat 2% low-fat milk
  • 1 cup egg substitute or 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 teaspoons light brown sugar, divided

Method

  • PREHEAT oven to 325°F
  • WHISK evaporated milk, egg substitute, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and salt in medium bowl until mixed. Pour mixture evenly into six, 6-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins in 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Pour boiling water into baking pan to a depth of 1-inch depth (about halfway up sides of ramekins).
  • BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes or until gently set in centers. Remove to wire rack to cool slightly. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • PREHEAT broiler. Blot tops of creme brulees with paper towel. Sprinkle each creme brulee with a teaspoon of brown sugar. Place on baking sheet with sides. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat for 5 to 6 minutes, rotating pan once, watching closely, until sugar is melted and caramelized. Alternately, tops can be caramelized using a kitchen torch. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until topping hardens (do not refrigerate longer than 1 hour or topping will start to soften).
  • NOTES: If using eggs, pour mixture through fine sieve into ramekins.
