Getting in the holiday spirit with these candy cane creme brulees! Super yummy custard with a hint of peppermint and a nice hard sugar substitute crust. I liked to sprinkle a crushed sugar free candy cane on top or you can caramelize the candy cane!

So because I moved earlier this year, I didn’t have torch. That means I had to broil it – but my stove doesn’t have a broiler? So I had to use what I had available. You could definitely get yours a little bit browner and caramelized than mine.

As for the sugar free candy canes – you can find a TON of those online! Or (similar to me) you could crush up sugar free peppermint hard candies.
