How to Make Baked Egg Custard Low Carb

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half. Mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased ramekin or oven-safe dish.
  6. Sprinkle the top with a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.
  7. Place the ramekin in a larger baking dish. Pour enough boiling water into the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekin (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh berries or a sugar-free chocolate shavings if desired.
