Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Eggs
2 cups Heavy cream
1/2 cup Besti Powdered Erythritol ((1/2 cup Powdered erythritol))
1/4 tsp Sea salt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
Nutmeg ((optional, for sprinkling))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs at medium-low speed for about 30 seconds, until frothy.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the cream, powdered erythritol, and sea salt over medium-low heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until it reaches 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), or just before boiling. Small bubbles will form on the edges. Do not let it boil. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • While whisking the eggs constantly, pour the cream into the eggs very slowly in a thin stream.
  • Divide the custard mixture evenly between 6 4-ounce ramekins. Sprinkle the tops lightly with nutmeg.
  • Place the ramekins into a pan with tall sides, and fill the pan with enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the custard is barely starting to set, but still jiggly. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Cool the custard completely to room temperature, until set. Refrigerate afterward if serving later.

Tips:

  • For a richer custard, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
  • If you don't have a ramekin, you can use a small oven-safe bowl.
  • Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water to create a water bath. This will help the custards cook evenly and prevent them from curdling.
  • Bake the custards until they are just set. They should still have a slight jiggle in the center.
  • Let the custards cool slightly before refrigerating them. This will help them to set properly.
  • Serve the custards chilled, topped with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Conclusion:

These vanilla custard cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are low in fat and carbohydrates, making them a healthier choice than many other desserts. The custards are also very versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh berries, fruit sauce, or whipped cream.
