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.

BLUEBERRY CUSTARD
The soft, warm texture of the custard is something gentle for the waking tummy and tongue. It only takes a few minutes to prepare -- great for dessert, too! Drizzle with hot jam or maple syrup. In the summer, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint from the garden!

LOW CARB GRATIN OF FRESH BERRIES
Steps:
- Preheat broiler to high and position rack to highest level.
- Wash, pat dry, and place all berries in a saute pan that fits them tightly in 1 layer and can also be used for serving. Sprinkle berries with 1 tablespoon sugar substitute, and then cover them with a thick, even layer of sour cream, letting the berries peek out around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar substitute evenly over the top, and then sprinkle the brown sugar substitute over top.
- Place the pan as close under the broiler as you can while keeping the oven door open and the handle of the pan sticking out. The berries only need to be warmed and the sugar substitute glazed. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just caramelized, watching carefully the whole time. Serve warm as you would a cobbler, and garnish with fresh mint.

BAKED VANILLA CUSTARD WITH BERRIES
I first made this recipe because the idea of baked vanilla custard gave me tingles. It's such a luxurious-sounding dessert. I adore a rustic scoop of pudding for dessert and I have found that simple presentations like these always get devoured completely at dinner parties. You could serve this custard with a plate of cookies or ladyfingers for textural contrast.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Have a 2-quart oval baking dish and a roasting pan large enough to hold the baking dish ready.
- Prepare the berries: Combine the strawberries, cherries, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat without stirring, until the fruit has softened a bit and released lots of juices, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fruit and a scant 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) of the juices to the baking dish. Discard any remaining juice.
- Make the custard: Combine the sugar and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and beat vigorously with a whisk until very light and creamy looking. Add the mascarpone and beat just until combined; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the cream and vanilla on medium speed to soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the cream and vanilla into the mascarpone mixture until no streaks remain.
- Carefully dollop the custard on top of the berries. Place the baking dish in the roasting pan and place the roasting pan in the oven. Pour hot but not boiling water into the roasting pan so it comes two-thirds of the way up the sides of the baking dish.
- Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the surface is lightly golden, the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. If it starts getting too dark too quickly, cover with foil.
- Remove the pudding from the roasting pan and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover the custard and chill for 6 hours or overnight. Serve chilled, topped with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and sliced strawberries.
LOW-CARB CUSTARD
I got this off another recipe website. I 'tweacked' it to fit my taste. I also would like to try this recipe with an egg substitute to help reduce the fat. I used 6 oz ramekin dishes and had plenty to fill 8+ dishes. I made it for dessert and I enjoyed it as breakfast the next several mornings.

Tips:
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor. Frozen berries can be used, but they may not be as sweet.
- If you don't have a ramekin, you can use a small ovenproof dish.
- Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be set, but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Let the custard cool slightly before serving. This will help it to firm up.
- Serve the custard with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of fresh berries.
Conclusion:
This low-carb baked custard with berries is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. The custard is creamy and smooth, and the berries add a burst of sweetness and flavor. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home.
