Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Granular erythritol sweetener
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 units Large eggs
• 2 units Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia sweetener
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and have a kettle of hot water ready for the water bath.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the erythritol with 1 tablespoon of water. Stir continuously until completely melted and the mixture turns a light golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.

Step 3

Carefully divide the caramel evenly among six 4-ounce ramekins, swirling each one to coat the bottom. Set the ramekins aside to let the caramel harden.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and a pinch of salt over medium heat until it begins to steam, do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia until well combined.

Step 6

Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously, ensuring the eggs do not cook.

Step 7

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any bits of cooked egg for a smoother custard.

Step 8

Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramel in each ramekin.

Step 9

Place the ramekins inside a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Step 10

Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the centers are just set and still slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, gently run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert each ramekin onto a serving plate to release the flan and the caramel topping.

Step 13

Serve chilled and enjoy your low carb caramel flan!
