Keto egg custard is a very easy to make recipe that has only 3g net carbs per serving. The taste will take you back to your childhood.
I’m making Keto egg custard today, so predictably, I have a Beatles song stuck in my head.
“I am the Egg Man, they are the Egg Men, I am the Walrus! Goo goo g’joob.”
Luckily, I was able to find the video, because the Internet is a wonderful place.
But the song is even more bananas than I remembered. Most likely because it was written by John Lennon, in two days, over the course of two acid trips. It’s pretty far out, man.
But enough hippy music, let’s make some low carb egg custard.
This recipe is an oldy but a goody. For this Keto Egg Custard recipe, you’ll need heavy whipping cream, sugar-free sweetener, eggs, salt and vanilla. (And cinnamon if you are feeling spicy.) You mix it all up, cook it in a water bath in the oven, and you’re done. You’ll have a quick and easy dessert with only 3g net carbs per serving.
Goo goo g’joob!

This was also delightful with either caramel or almond extract for a little twist on flavor and I use monk fruit sweetener instead of erythritol. I think the taste is closer to sugar. I make a sauce for it by melting salted butter with cinnamon and caramel liquid stevia (or caramel extract & a keto sweetener). I always refrigerate for about 2 hours then top with sugar free whipped cream (land o lakes makes it and Walmart has their own brand too; it’s in a can, made with HWC, is zero carbs) and the sauce is always poured hot or warm on top of it. The chilling it and topping it takes this recipe from amazing to otherworldly!....Question though: I was wondering if I could go dairy-free with this recipe by using full-fat canned coconut milk?

I'm so glad you like the recipe! Those improvements sound great. And I actually have a recipe for coconut milk egg custard on my site. The HWC is greatly reduced, but I did use a little. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-coconut-egg-custard/
If you want a totally dairy free version, then you should check out one that I found on Low Carb Yum. I haven't tried it but it sounds delicious. https://lowcarbyum.com/coconut-custard/
