Ingredients
  

Custard Base
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Swerve, granular
  • a pinch salt
  • 3 cups hot milk (2 percent, not boiling, about 120°F/49°C)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Ground nutmeg
  • Cooking spray of choice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease six 7-ounce ramekins with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks together until just blended.
  3. Stir in the Swerve and a pinch of salt.
  4. Whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and whisk again.
  5. Fill a shallow roasting pan with hot water, about one inch deep, and place the ramekins in the water bath.
  6. Sprinkle nutmeg atop each ramekin.
Baking
  1. Place the roasting pan in the oven on a rack about one-third down from the top.
  2. Bake for about 90 minutes, checking for doneness after 45 minutes. The custard should be set.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Carefully lift the ramekins from the water bath and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Dust with nutmeg before serving.

Notes

Serve warm or chilled. For extra flavor, consider garnishing with fresh berries or crushed nuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
