Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granular erythritol sweetener
- 4 units Large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and cocoa powder. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to simmer. Be careful not to let it come to a boil.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the granular erythritol, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Once the cream mixture has simmered, slowly pour about a third of it into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper the yolks and prevent them from cooking.
Step 5
Return the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the custard, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped unsweetened chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the custard is smooth.
Step 8
Pour the custard mixture into four individual ramekins.
Step 9
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath.
Step 10
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custards are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Step 11
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set completely.
Step 12
Serve chilled and enjoy your keto-friendly silky chocolate custard!
