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.

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.
