    Greek Yogurt Creme Brulee

    Sweets

    Who loves their dessert? I know I sure do and let me tell you, this Greek Yogurt Creme Brulee does just the trick.   I am always looking for ways to make healthy alternatives to my favorite delicacies.  When I am looking for something decadent, this does it.  Wow your guests with this fancy dessert.  Impress them with your mad cooking skills while serving them something healthy at the same time!

    Greek yogurt helps add many nutrients and improve a typical creme brulee.  It offers a high protein option with healthy probiotics that will promote gut health. Gut health is important for normal digestion and for keeping a healthy immune system.  The cherries do a world of good for the flavor in these.  They offer a savory sweetness that is hard to beat.  Cherries are also great for antioxidants, specifically anthocyanins.  Anthocyanins are what give cherries their gorgeous color.  They have been found to protect against heart disease, lower the risk of cancer, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.  Cherries have significantly reduced the risk of cancer in various studies.  With Greek yogurt and cherries, you’ve turned your dessert into a healthy snack!

    crem webTake a couple cups of vanilla Greek yogurt and mix with some pitted and sliced cherries.  Divide this mixture into four mini, flame-proof bowls and cover with a layer of brown sugar.  Use a brûlée torch or the broiler for the over for 2-3 minutes until the sugar caramelizes into a perfectly golden crust.

    The Greek yogurt offers a perfect swap for the typical custard base of a creme brûlée.  I love treating myself to a dish like this after a long day and a good meal.  It really is sweet and creamy enough to hit the spot. The best part about this is that you have created an elegant, noteworthy dessert in the comforts of your home.  You do not even have to have a brûlée torch to make these! How do you like the Greek yogurt swap?  Let us know in the comments below! xo

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?!
