Hazelnut creme brulee is a sophisticated dessert for two. This easy recipe is the perfect ending to a romantic dinner.

Creme brulee is the new dessert standard in my house. With is silky smooth texture and crackly top, I can see why it?s a popular dessert in high end restaurants. But equally appealing is the ease with which it can be made. While most of my recipes serve 4-6, it?s nice to have a smaller recipe as a dessert for two people.
Hazelnut Creme Brulee Dessert for Two
Creme Brulee an easy dessert that anyone can master. It calls for simple ingredients and very little hands-on time. The base custard consists of egg yolks, sweetener, and cream which can be flavored any number of ways. While typically cooked in a water bath, I?ve seen no-bake creme brulee recipes that use gelatin to set the custard, too. I?ve shared several creme brûlée recipes on Low Carb Maven, but this hazelnut creme brûlée and my chocolate truffle creme brûlée are my favorites. If coffee desserts are your weakness, try the coffee creme brûlée because it?s great, too.

The flavors of this hazelnut creme brulee are sweet and sultry. Spiced rum contributes a pleasant vanilla-spice flavor which accentuates the hazelnut. If you prefer, brandy or bourbon is a good sub. For those of you who don’t eat sugar-free, try adding a hazelnut liqueur like Frangelico. For those of us following a low carb keto diet, a little hazelnut extract does the trick.
