INGREDIENTS NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:

EGGS:

HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream is added in the dessert for the addition of healthy fats and to make the creamy consistency of custard.
ALMOND MILK:
- Almond milk is the keto substitute of milk and it is use to make the dessert.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol is the keto sweetener to sweeten the dessert without the additional carbs.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It is included in the dessert to add the warm and aromatic flavor in the dessert.
SALT:
- It is included in the dessert to enhances flavor overall and balances sweetness
INSTRUCTION:
- We can preheat the oven at three-fifty degrees F.
- Now we can apply the oil on the dish.
- We can add the cream cheese, almond milk, eggs, heavy cream, Erythritol, vanilla essence, cinnamon, and salt in the blender.
- Blend until it’s smooth & well incorporated.
- Put the cheese flan blend in the dish.
- Now we can fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Place the baking dish inside a bigger roasting pan.
- We can cover the dish with the foil loosely and bake the flan for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the middle is just firm but still somewhat jiggly.
- Take the flan out of the oven, allow it to cool at the ambient temperature.
- Then place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
- We can make the slices and serve cold.
SERVING IDEAS:
- Add some fresh berries, such as strawberries or raspberries over the cheese flan for the additional taste.
- We can pour some keto caramel sauce over the flan.
- Add nutmeg or cinnamon on the flan for the additional aroma and depth.
- Serve this flan with a cup of keto coffee or espresso.
- We can add some fresh mint leaves to garnish this flan.
- Put a spoonful of sugar-free whipped cream over the flan.
TIPS:
- We would have to utilize the ambient temperature cream cheese so that it combines easily.
- You don’t have to skip the water bath as it guarantees even cooking of the flan.
- We have to savor and modify the amount of sweetness as preffered.
- You have to properly cool the flan to set it properly.
- We would also utilize the silicon mold for the easy unmolding.
