Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 cups Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and bring a kettle of water to boil. This will be used for a water bath later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to steam, but don't let it boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and erythritol sweetener until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until everything is well combined.
Pour the custard mixture into four 4-ounce ramekins, distributing it evenly.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the dish, ensuring it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are just set and still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, allowing them to fully set.
Serve chilled as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
