Instructions:
-
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by coating the inside of your Slow Cooker with a generous amount of coconut oil to ensure the custard doesn’t stick as it cooks.
-
Mix Ingredients: Add the lightly beaten eggs, coconut milk, erythritol, stevia powder, and coconut extract into the Slow Cooker. Stir gently until the mixture is well combined.
-
Stir and Cover: Give the mixture one final stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed, then place the lid on the Slow Cooker.
-
Cook on Low: Set your Slow Cooker to LOW and let the custard cook for 5 hours. The custard will slowly thicken and take on a rich, creamy texture.
-
Cool: Once cooking is complete, allow the custard to cool for 1-2 hours. The cooling time helps it firm up, making it easier to serve.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Scoop out portions of the delightful coconut custard, and enjoy this indulgent yet low-carb treat!
Tip:
If you don’t have a Slow Cooker, you can substitute with an Iron-Cast Dutch Oven. For the Dutch oven, set the temperature to 200°F for LOW or 250°F for HIGH. This method will achieve similar results, though you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
