Fat Free Greek Yogurt Fruit Brulée is a refreshing summery dessert made with grapes and oranges that the whole family will love! Healthier than a traditional brulée but just as delicious, what’s not to love!
During January I have been trying to eat a little healthier to reverse the excesses of Christmas.
Last week I re-created an Apple & Chocolate Swiss Roll that I once had as child and this week it was time to put another food memory into action. Inspired by a cook’s blow torch that hubby gave me for Christmas I decided to make Greek Yogurt Fruit Brulée that I’d had once at a student party (too many years ago to mention)!
Being so long ago I have no idea if it was cream, crème fraiche or yogurt that was in the large dish with the crispy sugar top but as real Greek yogurt is so very creamy I decided it would be perfect.
I used fat free Greek yogurt to be extra saintly and in the original dish I had I think there were just grapes but I decided to add orange segments which go really well and add extra vitamin C.
So what was my family’s verdict? Well my son said he wouldn’t eat it as I knew he didn’t eat yogurt!
After a bit of reasoning and telling him it didn’t taste like just a yogurt I managed to get him to try a spoonful – the next time I looked round there was an empty ramekin!
My daughter and hubby also loved it and I loved that fact that I’d managed to give my family a delicious, nutritious and healthy dessert.

Thanks Bintu – you really wouldn’t be afraid of the tiny little blow torch I have, flame on a par with a lighter:-)
Sarah @tamingtwins
Oh this is such a super idea Camilla, perfect for my ‘lighter’ January diet. Thank you for sharing.
Camilla
Thanks Sarah, yes I’m trying to be good this January too:-)

Must look around for a cook’s blowtorch.
Camilla
Mine was £5 in Home Bargains, had wanted one for ages!
Elizabeth

Camilla
Aah thanks Elizabeth:-)

I love creme brulee but never thought about making with Greek yogurt. I should be trying it soon! x
Camilla
Fab:-)
Diana
That is my kind of dessert and the topping looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it 🙂
Camilla
Thanks:-)
William Gould
Wow! So simple, and easy to prepare in advance when you have a spare few minutes!
Camilla
You don’t want to make it too far in advance or the crispy sugar topping will melt into the yogurt, but still tastes good:-)

I must confess I bought a cook’s blow torch and too scared to put any gas in it incase I blow the kitchen up or something. I need someone who knows what they’re doing to show me how to fill it up!
Never thought of this, great idea!
Camilla
Hubby has done all the filling from the small can of Universal gas lighter refill we have for the stick lighter we already had. It looked quite easy – get your hubby onto otherwise, they love playing with fire!

Not tried this with fat free yogurt, I’ve used full fat 🙂 I will be off to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Camilla
I was dithering between the 2 types when I went shopping but in the interests of “trying” to have a healthier January I plumped for the 0% fat, oh and it was on offer;-)
Anne Wallwin
great idea for a quick and healthy pudding. I think my kids would like them as well.
Camilla
Thanks, yes hopefully they will:-)
