In reply to Fran. Choc chips sounds like a great idea. Thank you, Fran!

This was beautiful, a light dessert and very tasty. I didn’t swirl the chocolate enough so ended up with some hard bits, might used chocolate drops next time for ease.

where do I find erythritol?

Hey Jennifer! Some Stevia brands are more bitter than others. I used to use a Stevia type that had no residual bitterness whatsoever, but the supply stopped 2 years ago ?. Since then I’ve tried a multitude of substitutes (most of them disgusting!) and the one I’m using now is the best choice, in my opinion. It does have some bitterness, especially if used neat (straight on the tongue or in tea/coffee) or in large quantities, but combining it with erythritol seems to neutralise that negative effect. All my recipes are tested on people who love sugar and I only publish them if no-one detected strange flavours.
That said, you could use other sweeteners like monkfruit, etc, but remember that they all contain mostly erythritol anyway – they just cost more and don’t sweeten as much, plus some affect blood glucose. I’d say give it a try using the exact same ingredients I used and let me know how you get on.

Hello! I am looking forward to making this, but I find that I can’t tolerate the bitterness of Stevia. I taste it every time, like the princess and the pea. ? Any tips? Clearly they go together in your recipes for a reason.

Dear Marion, thank you so much for your very kind comment…you made me blush about the queen part… it’s just a nickname my daughter uses for me, not something to aggrandise myself with, far from it! You should see how many fails and inedible concoctions I go through before I hit the jackpot, hahaha. Queen of failures, more like!
Au revoir. ?Keep Calm and Keto On?

I made this most delicious flan to take on a mini- break, to the beautiful scenic location, of Argyll & Bute, last week. As we live in Scotland, It only took us about 2 hours to get there,& I have to say, as my Husband & me, sat amongst the majestic mountains of Glencoe, on a heather patch, Sunday afternoon, in the most amazing sunshine, we thought we were tasting a bit of heaven. We enjoyed this so much, & it did travel well. The texture is just right, & the flavours are nothing short of scrummy. My other halfs only complaint…I should have made more…but he does eat a lot..all Keto of course.
Now you don’t NEED to be sat in this stunning area, to enjoy this gorgeous treat, as Antya,the recipe provider, publishes amazing tasty recipes to enjoy, where ever you are ! Of course, THE queen of keto, came up… yet again.. with a winner with this flan, quick & simple to make, ingredients that are easy for us Keto followers ( & for anyone else for that matter ) to find, & an end result that is perfect. We bow to you your Majesty, keep coming up with the goodies, & long may you rule over your Keto followers ..x

Cutting out sugar doesn’t mean giving up sweetness 🙂 …be careful to avoid artificial sweeteners, though…linked to many health issues….

I love that this is sugar free! I’m trying to cut out sugar but the treats are what get me.
