Yield: 4
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 250ml double (heavy) cream
- 2 tbsp erythritol (for U.S. option, click HERE)
- 2 tbsp dark unsweetened cocoa (I use Perugina or S. Martino as they contain only 8.7g carbs per 100g!)
- ¾ tsppure stevia (for U.S. option, click HERE)
- zest of 1 unwaxed and organic orange
Instructions
- (optional step) to make the decoration, cut out a few strands from the orange zest and set them aside, then, while the custards are baking, sprinkle them with erythritol and grill them for 2 minutes. Once cooled the strands will harden and you'll be able to insert them as shown in the photos.
- pre-heat oven to 160C static.
- bring cream and grated orange zest to just below boiling point (when tiny little bubbles start forming where the liquid touches the pan), then turn heat off and set aside.
- whisk eggs and sweeteners vigorously until light and fluffy, then add cocoa and whisk again until nicely incorporated and smooth.
- slowly pour hot cream onto chocolate egg mix, whisking steadily and continuously.
- transfer to 4 shallow silicone moulds or ramekins and bake for 20 mins.
- let them cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving on their own or with a squirt of sugar free whipped cream, adding orange strands as decoration (optional).
Notes
Serve very chilled.
To remove the baked custards from their moulds, slide a wet knife all the way around the edges, turn upside down and squeeze gently until they pop out.
Keep refrigerated and consume within 4 days.
Macros do not include whipped cream.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use (UK Link). For U.S. option click HERE.
