Wednesday Weakness

Wednesdays have been said to be the most difficult day of the week at the Biggest Loser Resort. It is "hump day" and people are usually having to fight a little harder to get through the day. I find this to be the same in my own life. Wednesdays seem to be the hardest for me and I find myself craving some sort of sweet treat to get me through or enjoy at the end of a long day. Treats that I have eaten in the past do not coincide with a healthy life style, and as I've made changes in my own life I have sought hard to find treats that do! Thank you, Chef Cameron Payne, for being amazing! Chef Cameron has created all of the recipes used at our Biggest Loser Resorts. He has a gift, to say the least, and I'm just glad that he is sharing it with the rest of us!

Since it is Wednesday and all, I think it is only fair if I share with you a favorite from Chef Cam's repertoire!

Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee



Serves: 11
Serving Size: 2 ¾ oz

2 ¼ C. Fage® Yogurt
1 ½ Packages Vanilla Pudding Mix
1 C. Coconut Milk
½ t. Agar
¼ Vanilla Bean

Topping:
5 ½ t. Cane Sugar

Start by whisking coconut milk and agar together and putting it on to boil. Just when it starts to boil turn the heat down to a light simmer, and let heat for 4-5 minutes. Blend all ingredients together well. Pour mixture into a pastry bag, or Ziploc® with a corner cut off, and squeeze 2 ¾ oz portions into porcelain ramekins. Place all ramekins in refrigerator to chill. Dessert should be set up in about 2 hours. Just before serving desserts, sprinkle ½ t. cane sugar evenly on top, and fire it off with torch, until the top of the Crème Brulee is caramelized.

Let me know what you think after you've tried it! YUMMY!!!

XOXO
