Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Sugar substitute (such as Stevia or Erythritol)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is just warm, but not boiling. You want small bubbles to start forming around the edges.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar substitute until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.

Step 5

Once combined, strain the mixture through a sieve into another bowl to ensure a smooth texture and remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Divide the custard mixture evenly among four ramekins or custard cups.

Step 7

Place the ramekins into a large baking dish, and carefully fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath (bain-marie).

Step 8

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top of each custard for garnish.

Step 11

Refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure they are cool and set.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy your sugar-free classic egg custard!
