Low Carb Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs and add heavy cream, water, flavor extract, and artificial sweetner together.
• Blend well.
• Pour mixture into 6 to 8 ramekin dishes (depending on size).
• Sprinkle with the cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
• Place ramekin dishes inside a larger baking dish of cool water.
• Be sure the level of the water is 1/2 way up the dishes.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until center is firm.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before serving or refrigerating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Begin a teakettle to boiling for the water to put in the pan to bake the custards.
• Spray 6 custard cups with nonstick spray and place them in a roaster or (what I use) a glass pan.
• Combine cream, calorie countdown, and syrup in a heavy bottom sauce pan, and bring to a bare simmer( when it starts steaming, and the edges have little bubbles around them, it is time to turn off the heat.).
• In a 4 cup measuring cup beat the eggs and egg yolks together until the color lightens.
• Add 1/4 cream mixture to the eggs, whisking as you pour.
• Add the egg/cream mixture back to the sauce pan and mix well.
• Put a strainer over your 4 cup measure, and pour the egg/cream mixture back in to the measuring cup.
• Pour the custard into the custard cups.
• Pull your oven self out and place the pan on it, then add the boiling water to the pan. Enough to almost reach the level of the custard in the cups.
• Bake for 35 minutes.
• Remove from pan of water with tongs, and place on a kitchen towel.
• Let cool a bit, and eat, it is good warm, or refrigerate.
• If you feel the "Splenda" aftertaste is too strong, refrigerate 24 hours. It usually gets a lot milder.
• The options for this custard are endless, and dependent on your own taste. I love plain vanilla with Jok n Al's fruit spread on it, butterscotch (takes away my cravings for pudding) Coconut, you name it. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Using custard or desert dish, beat eggs well.
• Add Splenda and flavoring.
• Stir cream or half& half into eggs and mix well.
• Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon.
• Place in microwave and cook on 50% power for about 5-6 minutes.
• Custard will rise and fall as it cooks.
• Knife should come out clean when inserted in center of custard.

Steps:

• NOTES:.
• * Instead of the cream and milk you can use all milk(1 cup).
• ** Artificial sweetener equal to sweetness of 2 tsp sugar.
• Heat the milk or milk and cream until scalding - if it's steaming, it's probably there. You should see very tiny bubbles only at the very outside edges of the liquid.
• Remove from heat.
• Add the vanilla, sweetener, and salt to the milk.
• Beat the egg yolks.
• Add a little of the milk to the eggs and mix well (this is called "tempering" the eggs so they don't cook).
• Repeat, adding a little more milk so you gradually bring the eggs up to temperature. Then add all the rest of the milk mix.
• Put a small amount of water in the bottom of a double boiler or a pot on which you can put a bowl. Heat. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
• Add milk/egg mixture and stir or whisk over hot/boiling water until mixture begins to thicken, then remove from heat and stir until it coats a metal spoon.
• Refrigerate.
