- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener monk fruit sweetener or erythritol recommended
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease four 2-3 inch ovenproof ramekins and arrange them in a large baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Evenly distribute the mixture among the prepared ramekins.
Boil water using a kettle or on the stove, ensuring you have between 2-4 cups of boiling water ready. Carefully pour the boiling water into the baking dish, ensuring the ramekins are submerged to a depth of about an inch.
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the custard for approximately 30 minutes, or until the custard is firm on the top.
Once baked, remove the custards from the oven. They can be enjoyed warm or allowed to cool completely. For a chilled dessert, refrigerate the custards until cold.
