Description

Enjoy a quick and delightful dessert with this low-carb Baked Egg Custard recipe. Perfect for those who crave a sweet treat without the guilt, this custard is easy to make and takes just minutes in the microwave. Each bite is creamy, satisfying, and wonderfully indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Splenda granular (or any preferred sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Nutmeg or cinnamon, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Custard Mixture:

    • In a custard or dessert dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor:

    • Add Splenda (or your chosen sweetener) and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Incorporate Cream:

    • Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Add Seasoning:

    • Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon over the top of the custard mixture for added flavor.
  5. Microwave Cooking:

    • Place the dish in the microwave and cook on 50% power for about 5-6 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage and the thickness of the custard.
  6. Check for Doneness:

    • The custard will rise and then settle as it cooks. To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center of the custard; it should come out clean when the custard is fully set.
  7. Serve:

    • Once cooked, allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
