Creme caramel recipe?

[SueJB]

Hi
has anyone got a low carb recipe for creme caramel?... basically I suppose it's the caramel I'm looking for.

more like a "proper" caramel than the wet stuff we are used to.. or for a creme brulee topping you could try allulose which I have read is similar to sugar but beware of gastric issues if you use too much!

I have never tried either for full disclosure...

Ive always found caramel overpoweringly sweet, so have never cooked high or low carb versions
Ive seen inulin and sukrin gold suggested as a good way to get a crunchy topping on creme brulee ( which Ive also never eaten)
Found this too

Thanks @Boo1979 but I'm after a caramel not a brulee, don't like the crunch

You may have to don an industrial chemist hat I'm afraid
Try melting Erythritol and then add caramel flavour and see what you get then

Haven't got any but I've got some xantham gum and have never used it. I bought it when I was first diagnosed, no idea why!!

Its meant to be good for thickening things like gravy I think..

Not sure but I think this looks disgusting

Xanthan gum is very different from Erythritol
Erythritol is like granulated white sugar
Xanthan gum is more like granular gelatine
Their physical properties are very-very different.

thanks but I've no idea what blackstrap molasses is. .... it doesn't sound very low. Think I'll give this one a miss. If I'm going to try something like this, I want to know how others have found making it.
