Keto Vanilla Custard Ingredients
To make this keto egg custard you only need 4 key ingredients:
Heavy cream - make sure the heavy cream/double cream/thickened cream is at room temperature.
Eggs - try to use free range eggs and make sure they're at room temperature like the heavy cream.
Erythritol - we used Erythritol but you can use any other granulated sweetener such as monk fruit, stevia etc.
Vanilla extract - for that delicious vanilla flavor!
How To Make Easy Keto Custard
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and grease four ovenproof ramekins. Place the ramekins in a suitably sized baking dish.
Whisk the eggs, Erythritol and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until it reaches a smooth cream-like consistency.
Pour in the heavy cream in a stream while continuing to whisk until it has completely incorporated into the mixture.
Divide the mixture into the four ramekins you prepared earlier.
Slowly add boiling water into the oven dish being very careful not to splash any water into the ramekins. The ramekins should be sitting in about 1 inch high water.
Bake in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes until the custard is golden on top.
Allow to cool to room temperature and serve garnished with your chosen toppings and dusted with powdered Erythritol.
Topping Ideas
Fresh fruit - there are a number of fruits that can be eaten in moderation on keto. You can use blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, cantaloupe and star fruit.
Nuts - topping this low carb vanilla custard with sliced nuts gives eat bite added texture and flavor. Sliced almonds, walnuts and pecans all work well. You might also like to check out our post on the best low carb nuts on keto.
