Deliciously Creamy Keto Vanilla Custard Cups

Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (optional for thicker texture)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat the milk and cream: In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, heavy cream, and sweetener. Heat over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
- Whisk the egg yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth. Slowly add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks to temper them, whisking continuously.
- Combine: Gradually whisk the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the warm milk mixture. Add the vanilla extract and salt.
- Cook: Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-10 minutes). If using gelatin, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir until dissolved.
- Cool: Remove from heat and allow the custard to cool slightly. Pour the custard into individual cups or ramekins.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Serve cold, optionally topped with whipped cream or berries.
