No, low carb egg custard and pudding are not the same things. Custard is creamy, is made with eggs and baked in a water bath. Pudding doesn’t necessarily require eggs and milk is the main ingredient. Regular versions are often thickened with cornstarch, but I have a low carb pudding recipe coming soon for you!
The Low Carb Baked Egg Custard can be made a day or 2 before it’s needed if you are serving it cold. The unsweetened almond milk can be swapped out for the milk of your choice. This Keto Baked Egg Custard recipe makes 4 serves. 1 serving has on 1g net carbs. Store leftover Low Carb Baked Egg Custard in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Eggs – use large eggs in this recipe, whisked together to create a smooth dessert. Milk – you can use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk or whatever low carb, keto diet milk alternative you usually use. Cream – heavy cream, double cream or whipping cream will create a rich and creamy custard.
Either make a meringue topping for the custard, make macaroons, make egg white cups for breakfast or just fry them up the next morning for your breakfast. If you use a thickening agent in your low carb custard then just use a little at a time so that it will still end up creamy and smooth.
