Keto Flan Recipe (Creme Caramel)
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 50 minutes
Chilling: 3 hours
Total: 4 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
For the Caramel Sauce
- ½ cup Low Carb Sugar Substitute
- 2 tablespoon Water
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the Custard
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Almond Milk unsweetened
- ¼ cup Low Carb Sugar Substitute
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
For the Caramel Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine the Erythritol and water over low heat. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture cook without stirring. Allow it to caramelize, which may take about 5-7 minutes. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization.
- Once the caramel turns a deep golden color, remove it from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract.
- Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of your ramekins or custard cups, swirling to coat the bottoms evenly. Work quickly because the caramel hardens as it cools.
For the Custard
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Erythritol, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Stir in the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a silky texture.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture into the caramel-coated ramekins or custard cups.
- Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and add hot water to the dish, creating a water bath. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the custard cups from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of each custard, place a plate over the top, and invert to release the caramel.
- Serve cold, optionally garnished with edible flowers.
