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.

This was delicious although I didnt get the brulee to harden. I used a cooks torch to melt the sugar but it did not harden after and I even put in freezer for a quick spell but stayed liquid? What could I be doing wrong?
Camilla
Hi Kim, perhaps you needed a more generous amount of sugar? The recipe has never failed me. However, I’ve never put it in the freezer which might have a different effect.
Janice
A really simple idea, but it looks so delicious

Sounds nice.

Guilt free comfort food 😀

Creme brulee is my favourite dessert but definitely my downfall because I never stop at one. I am determined to try this option which sounds just as delicious and far healthier for my arteries!

Stuart Vettese
This sounds really healthy and delicious Camilla. Thanks for entering them into Treat Petite.

Thanks Stuart – a pleasure;-)
Chris
It looks very yummy to me. I would gladly take a bowl of it … and it probably wouldn’t harm me.
Camilla
Thanks Chris – no it definitely wouldn’t harm you:-)
Maya Russell
You are full of fabulous ideas! Never thought of this.
Camilla
Thank you Maya, not my idea but I have eaten a lot of things which I’m always on a quest to re-create:-)
Jen @ Blue Kitchen Bakes
Love how simple this, much easier than a normal creme brulee and looks just as delicious, need to add a blowtorch to my kitchen 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Jen, yes I love simple dishes. Mine is a tiny little blow torch from Home Bargains (£5) but perfect for making these little desserts:-)
Bintu @ Recipes From A Pantry
Right up my street Camilla – although I am a bit sacred f the blow torch/
.
Camilla
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:-)
Paul Wilson
Must look around for a cook’s blowtorch.
Camilla
Mine was £5 in Home Bargains, had wanted one for ages!
Elizabeth
Oh this sounds so good! Yes please, pass over a ramekin for me will you? 🙂
Camilla
Aah thanks Elizabeth:-)
Lilinha Espindula
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:-)
Sarah Maison Cupcake
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!

Cherished By Me
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:-)
kathderoet
yum, this looks so fab, you are very clever. x
Camilla
Thanks, well I can’t really take the credit for being clever just having a very long memory LOL:-)
Ursula Hunt
great to have a good dessert recipe, I am now on a flat tummy quest
Camilla
Thanks:-) Yes I know that feeling too well having been given so many boxes of marzipan this Christmas!
Jan @GlugofOil
Lovely recipe – I could eat that right now!
Camilla
Thanks Jan:-)
Paul Wilson
Great idea.
Janie
That is down right genius lady! Creme Brulees are divine but loaded with naughtiness, and actually, it really is all about the crunch of that topping. Consider it pinned!
Janie x
Camilla
Aaw thanks Janie:-)
Fuss Free Helen
Delicious and simple Camilla. I quite possibly will be making it with banana this evening.
Camilla
Thanks Helen, bananas would be lovely too:-)
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
I love this recipe! My mother in law makes something very similar and it always goes down well 🙂 you did a great job with that crispy topping!!
Camilla
Thanks Becca, I enjoyed using my mew toy:-)
Vohn McGuinness
Now that is my kind of yoghurt! What a genius idea to give it a creme brûlée topping! I love it!
Camilla
Thank Vohn – yes it’s so quick and easy too:-)
Deena kakaya
I’m totally sold with that pic! x
Camilla
Thanks Deena, my new camera is helping:-)
Helen
This looks delicious! I love anything bruleed.
Thanks for the link to my jelly recipe 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Helen – a pleasure
