Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Brûlée

A recipe for Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Brûlée! Yogurt is flavored with strawberries and vanilla, topped with sugar, then caramelized until golden for a light, yet decadent treat.

Love Creme Brûlée but want something a bit lighter? This Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Brûlée has the same crisp, caramelized coating, but the custard under the surface is switched out for simply yogurt and fruit!

As an added bonus, no custard making or overnight refrigeration is required. Everything comes together in less than 15 minutes with no cooking at all for a quick and easy treat. I seasoned the yogurt with the seeds from a vanilla bean and lightly macerated strawberries, but any of your favorite flavors/berries will work. It is delicious as a light dessert or special breakfast.

I added the seeds from a vanilla bean to the strawberries, but you can substitute with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, skip it, or use a vanilla yogurt. I thinly sliced the strawberries, but they can also be finely chopped for easier mixing.

Don’t sprinkle the sugar over the tops of the Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Brûlée until right before you are about to caramelize and serve. That crisp texture will quickly soften back into the yogurt as it sits. Also, don’t add too thick of a layer of sugar or the top won’t caramelize evenly.

If you don’t have a blowtorch, arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and place on the top rack of the oven as close to the broiler as possible. Keep a close eye on them and broil until golden. If desired, garnish each ramekin with a sliced strawberry and a sprig of mint after caramelizing.
