The Best 3-Ingredient Low Carb Baked Egg Custard: Creamy, Dreamy, and Guilt-Free in Just 40 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
• 3–4 tbsp sweetener (like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit — adjust to taste)

(Optional: a pinch of vanilla extract or nutmeg/cinnamon for extra flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
3. Add the cream and sweetener, whisking gently to combine (don’t overbeat).
4. Pour mixture into small baking dishes or foil trays (like in the image).
5. Place the dishes in a larger pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides (this is a water bath for even cooking).
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Remove, let cool, and optionally sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top.

💡 Tips:

• For a smoother texture, strain the mixture before baking.
• Chill before serving for a firmer custard, or enjoy warm for a softer texture.
• If you want a caramelized top, sprinkle sweetener and torch lightly.
