Best Low Calorie But Creamy Custard Dessert Recipes

EASY KETO EGG CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• While the oven is heating up, beat the eggs with an electric mixer in a large bowl until they are frothy.
• On medium/low, heat the heavy cream, powdered Swerve, and salt in a pan on the stove. Keep stirring it until it starts to form tiny bubbles around the edges of the pan. DO NOT let it boil or else you will end up with cooked eggs instead of custard. You can check the internal temperature of the cream mixture with a thermometer. It should be 180 degrees.
• The next step is to mix it into the egg mixture slowly and constantly whisking it. This way the mixture will remain smooth and not lumpy.
• Now remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Get a large 13 x 9-inch pan and lay out 6 small custard dishes evenly in the pan.
• With a ladle spoon out the custard mixture evenly into the dishes.
• Pour water into the large baking dish so that it's enough to come halfway up the outside of the custard dishes. This water bath is to make sure that the custard doesn't crack or overbake, but instead cooks evenly by reducing sudden temperature changes.
• Top with a dusting of nutmeg sprinkled on the top of the custard.
• Bake the keto egg custard at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
• Insert a knife into the center of the custard. If it comes out clean take it out immediately. If it is not clean then continue baking it but check it every minute or two. It should be jiggly, and it's very important not to overcook the keto custard, otherwise, it will lose its creamy consistency and become hard.
• When it's done, take the dishes out of the oven and place on a cooling rack to let the keto custard cool. Then put the dishes into the refrigerator. Cover them with a piece of plastic wrap.
