Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place cream and sweetener in a small saucepan and heat until warm but not hot, stirring to dissolve sweetener.
- In small bowl, slightly beat egg yolks with wire whisk. Add cream mixture andvanilla and stir until well blended. Strain into a pouring vessel. Pour cream mixture evenly into six ramekins.
- Set ramekins into a 9 x 13 pan and place in oven. While in oven, carefully pour boilingwater into pan, until water covers two-thirds of the height of the ramekins. Be careful not to splash water into ramekins.
- Bake 25 to 40 minutes until the custard reaches 175 F or the center of the custard isset but jiggly.
- Carefully transfer ramekins individually to cooling rack—I found that lifting with a slottedturner worked best. Refrigerate until chilled, approximately 2 hours.
- Sprinkle about 1 teaspoons of sugar or sweetener over each chilled custard. Brown with a kitchen torch.
- Refrigerate until rechilled, about an hour.
Notes
- Tip: to brown erythritol (Swerve), experiment with the torch’s heat settings and maybe go a little lower.
- The mixture briefly caught fire a couple times (it’s a sugar alcohol and alcohol burns) so I wouldn’t brown this under a broiler.
- But even where the sugar wasn’t brown it had a nice crunch, so maybe decorate with extra berries while you perfect it.
