Calories 70 kcal
- 1 cup Allulose divided (see notes for details)
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 cups Milk of choice Unsweetened coconut milk recommended
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease six 3/4-cup ramekins and set aside for later use.
Caramel Layer: In a small saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of Allulose with water. Heat it over low heat until it begins to simmer, then increase to medium heat. Stir regularly until the mixture thickens and achieves an amber-brown color. Evenly distribute the caramel among the prepared ramekins, ensuring the sides are well-coated.
Custard Mixture: In another saucepan, combine your chosen milk and the remaining Allulose. Bring to a gentle simmer on low heat, then remove from heat. Whisk in eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth. Strain this mixture evenly into each ramekin.
Baking: Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard sets in the middle. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.
Serving: To serve, run a moist knife around the edges of each ramekin, then invert onto a plate to release the flan.
Notes:
- Sweetener: Allulose is recommended for its ability to caramelize, unlike Monk fruit or Erythritol.
- Storage Instructions:
- Refrigerate: Keep in the fridge, covered, for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: Wrap the ramekins with plastic wrap, ensuring there are no air pockets, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
