- 1/2 cup swerve sweetener
- 1 3/4 cup unsweetened chocolate (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon extract of vanilla
- 2 large egg yolk
- Pinch of salt
- Lightly sweetened whipped cream (optional)
INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND MILK:
- I use Almond milk for the keto custard recipe, if you want the recipe to be free from nuts you can add hemp milk as well.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract is used universally. We can also add any other extract like caramel extract.
CHOCOLATE:
Use Lily’s sugar-free chocolate to include in chocolate custard INSTRUCTION:
- Put the saucepan on the heat (medium) and add 1/2 cup milk (almond) Bring it to a boil and add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/3 cup swerve sweetener in pan and mix it with the whisk until it gets thick consistency.
- Dissolve 2 egg yolks in some milk add slowly in the mixture and whisk it to combine.
- Cook it for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the 1 3/4 ounces of chopped chocolate to the custard and whisk it to make a smooth mixture.
- Place the sauce pan on shelf and cool the custard.
- When it is cool down add sugar-free chocolate chips in the custard.
- Place the serving dish on the counter and line the sugar-free and keto-friendly chocolate chip biscuit in the dish.
- Pour the chocolate custard over the biscuit and top it with sugar-free crushed chocolate and Choco chips.
Note:
- You can eat the chocolate custard simply as well without adding sugar-free and keto-friendly crushed chocolate and chocolate chip cookies.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
Fridge:
- You can store this Keto Chocolate Custard in an air-tight box and store it for 2-3 days.
Freezer:
- Try not to freeze this chocolate custard; because the custard will become watery and consistency and texture will change.
FAQs:
Can I make this custard-free from dairy?
- We would use cream of coconut as a substitute for whipped cream and we already make custard with almond milk.
How can I store this custard?
- This custard can be stocked up in a sealed jar for 2-3 days. Please don’t freeze custard as the consistency does not remain the same.
Is this a low-carb dessert?
- Yes, this keto chocolate just contains 4.9g of carbs and 2.7g of net carbs in it.
Will I use another sweetener?
I use swerve sweetener for this recipe. You may make it with Boscha Sweet and Allulose. Erythritol-based sweetener and monk fruit will be fine as well.
