Ingredients
This recipe serves four people, and can be stored in the fridge if you need to make it ahead of time. Prep time is only 15 minutes, cooking takes a little longer, around 30 mins - 40 mins, including the time to chill.
- 3 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup swerve confectioners or other sugar substitute
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (see notes)
- 3 tablespoons swerve granular or other sugar substitute
Directions
Lots of steps to this recipe, but it’s worth the effort as a special treat.
- Boil about 1-2 quarts (half a liter) of water, depending on your baking pan size, to use for the water bath.
- Preheat your oven to 300F.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-high heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges (do not let it boil).
- While the cream is heating, whisk together eggs and ½ cup of swerve in a bowl until well combined.
- Remove the cream from heat, then slowly pour it into the egg and swerve mixture, whisking continuously. Add vanilla bean paste and mix well. Pour the mixture into 6 ramekins and place them in an oven-safe pan.
- Pour boiling water into the pan, reaching about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard slightly jiggles when shaken.
- Remove the ramekins and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 ½ teaspoons of swerve granular over each ramekin. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the swerve, allowing it to harden for 2 minutes. If you don't have a torch, broil for 1-2 minutes, ensuring not to burn it. Enjoy this carnivore delight!
