Keto Egg Custard

Instructions:

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare a baking dish large enough to hold six 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Place the ramekins in the baking dish.

Mixing the Custard:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
2. Add the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sweetener is fully dissolved.

Straining for Perfection:

1. For an extra smooth custard, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into another bowl to remove any egg solids. This step ensures a velvety texture in every bite.

Pouring and Baking:

1. Divide the custard mixture evenly among the six ramekins.
2. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins until the water reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath helps the custards cook evenly and prevents cracking.
3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The gentle heat will coax the custards into a perfect set without overcooking.

Cooling and Serving:

1. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Patience is key here, as the custard continues to set as it cools.
2. Once cooled, refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the custard to firm up.
3. Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top of each custard, if desired. The nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and enhances the overall flavor.
