Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Granular erythritol
• 4 whole Large eggs
• 1/2 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and granular erythritol. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 6

Once fully combined, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout to ensure a smooth custard.

Step 7

Divide the custard mixture evenly among six ramekins.

Step 8

Place the ramekins in a large baking dish, and carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 10

Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours or until they are thoroughly chilled.

Step 12

Before serving, you may optionally sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over each custard for a classic touch.
