Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • Pinch of salt
  • Additional erythritol for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. Mix Egg Yolks: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, erythritol, and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the yolks.
  4. Bake: Pour the custard mixture into ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Chill: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Caramelize the Top: When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of erythritol over the top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sweetener until it forms a crispy crust. Let it cool for a minute before serving.
