Recipe Steps

steps 5

1 h 15 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 325 F. Place heavy cream in a small saucepan and heat until it is starting to simmer.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    In the meantime, whisk together egg yolks, ¼ cup of the sugar and vanilla together. Be sure to whisk this very well.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the egg yolk mixture to the heated heavy cream a little at a time, whisking until it is all combined. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and pour the cream into 4 oven proof 4-oz ramekins.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Place the ramekins into an 8” x 8” glass pan and add boiling water around the edges until the water comes up the sides about 1”. Bake in the oven for ~60 minutes. You will know when the custard is ready as the custard will jiggle together as one piece. It is not done, when the outside and the inside of the custard are moving separately from each other.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    If you eat them hot, they will be soupy. Chill the custards until firm about 1 hour. Then top each custard with 1 T of Swerve spreading out the sugar as evenly as possible. Using a culinary torch, torch the top of each custard until evenly browned. Serve immediately and enjoy cracking into the tops!

      You can also follow the recipe as written, but cook in an Instant Pot: Add a cup of water, put the ramekins on the rack, and cook at LOW for 13 minutes, then 15 minutes natural release.

              This was absolute tastegasm...so good!!! I tried the whole recipe with Pyure Organic Stevia Blend - granular all purpose sweetener from Walmart and made 8half ramekins, this is super filling dessert and you just can't stop eating it... so this way my guilt was completely gone (I am currently on below 20g carbs/day). Next time I am going to use liquid stevia or monk fruit for the custard (liquids have no carbs compared to powders ) and for the caramel custard I remain with pyure stevia or erythritol which caramelizes great as well...

                  This is SO good. I’ve made this many times and it always comes out perfectly. Most recently, I added pumpkin pie spice (tis the season) and it was amazing. Thank you for this recipe!

                    Wow. So good. I added a dash of allspice to the mixture and really loved it. Will definitely make it again.

                      This was REALLY good. I think the “ready in” should read 2 hours since you have to bake in the oven for 1 hour and then cool for 1 hour. Awesome dessert!

                        Is the icing sugar granular or confectioners swerve?

                          Icing sugar is the same as powdered sugar.

                        can I replace the icing sugar with stevia or something similar?

                          The icing sugar works very well for this. I am unsure how stevia would work? Just be sure to try a powdered version vs. granulated if you want to try something different!
