Keto Fail-Proof Egg Custard Recipe
Ingredients:
-
4 large eggs
-
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream for a richer version)
-
½ cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
-
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
-
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place 6 ramekins in a deep baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Slowly whisk in the almond milk or cream until the mixture is fully combined and silky.
-
Pour the custard mixture evenly into the ramekins. Sprinkle a light dusting of nutmeg on top if desired.
-
Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins (a water bath helps cook the custard gently).
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the centers are just set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven, cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
