Ingredients and substitutions

Portion sizes in the recipe card below.

• Eggs. We always use organic free-range eggs.
• Erythritol. You can use monk fruit or Swerve to sweeten instead if you prefer.
• Vanilla extract. Vanilla essence will also work and is cheaper, we just like to keep our ingredients as natural as possible, and the extract comes from the bean (the essence is artificial)
• Heavy cream. Always full-fat heavy cream.
• Almond milk. Unsweetened and unflavored.
• Nutmeg. Ground.

How to make the best keto custard

1. Preheat your oven to 150C/300F. Grease an 8-inch deep pie dish and set aside.
2. Place the eggs and sweetener in a large bowl and whisk together for 5 minutes until they have paled in color.
3. Add the vanilla and 1/2 cup of the cream. Whisk well.
4. Add the remaining cream and almond milk and whisk until the ingredients are well mixed.
5. Pour into your prepared pie dish and sprinkle over the nutmeg.
6. Place the pie dish into a large roasting dish and make a water bath but adding enough hot water to go halfway up the side of the pie dish.
7. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes, until it jiggles in the center.
8. Leave to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or cold, on its own, or add a little Keto Whipped Cream.
