Second Healthier Creme Brulee Recipe

I did some research to choose a heavy cream substitute for this try. The flavor is still slightly too eggy and the custard didn't set up quite enough, but this recipe is close. I eliminated more than half the fat and the flavor is close to what I remembered.

Creme Brulee (second attempt)
1/4 c egg substitute
1 egg white
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 c Splenda
3/4 c 2% milk
1/3 c margarine
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 Tbsp white sugar
Stir together the milk, margarine, Splenda, and vanilla bean's contents over medium heat. Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a soft boil, then stir in eggs and pour into ramekins. Place the ramekins in a water bath and bake at 325 degrees for 45minutes. Either cool and store the custards at this point, or transfer to an ice bath. Sprinkle the custards with white sugar and broil for a few minutes in the ice bath just before serving. This serves 2.
