How to Make Atkin S Almond Flan Low Carb
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour boiling water into a roasting pan until it's about halfway full.
- In a blender, combine 4 large egg yolks, 2 large whole eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute), and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into a 1-quart shallow baking dish.
- Carefully place the baking dish into the roasting pan filled with hot water (water bath). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Lightly spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Cover the flan and let it cool slightly in the water bath.
- Once cooled, remove the flan from the water bath, cover with the sprayed plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, garnish with 1/4 cup chopped almonds.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
