Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Eggs
2 cups Heavy cream
1/2 cup Besti Powdered Erythritol ((1/2 cup Powdered erythritol))
1/4 tsp Sea salt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
Nutmeg ((optional, for sprinkling))

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.

Low-Fat Vanilla Custard Sauce image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Dairy     Egg     Vanilla     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
1 3-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Pour milk into heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Whisk sugar and cornstarch in medium bowl until no lumps remain. Add egg; whisk until well blended. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into egg mixture. Return to same saucepan; whisk over medium heat until sauce thickens and boils, about 5 minutes. Pour into another medium bowl. Chill until cold, stirring occasionally, about 4 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled. Before serving, remove vanilla bean and whisk to loosen.)

Tips:

  • For a richer custard, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of skim milk.
  • If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder.
  • To make the custard cups ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve the custard cups, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake them for 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
  • Serve the custard cups with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Conclusion:

These low-fat, low-carb vanilla custard cups are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both satisfying and guilt-free.
