Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Heat the Cream
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
👉 Do not let it boil—it can affect the texture.
Step 2: Mix Egg Yolks and Sweetener
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with keto sweetener until smooth and slightly pale.

Divide the mixture into small baking dishes or ramekins.
Step 6: Bake in Water Bath
Place the ramekins in a baking tray. Add hot water around them (water bath). Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 30–35 minutes.
👉 The center should be slightly soft when done.
Step 7: Chill the Custard
Let them cool, then refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours.
