Baked Custard is an old fashioned recipe, typically made with skim milk. Our dairy-free version is made with unsweetened coconut milk. This recipe is simple to prepare and it is perfect as a make ahead breakfast or sweet treat at the end of the day.
The custard is baked in a water bath to prevent browning on the edges and an even, consistent texture. Remember to boil the water first and pour it into the baking dish only after the dish has been placed in the oven!
This Custard is listed in the KetoDietCalculator program as “Custard, dairy free-homemade” under standard meals.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups (678 grams) full fat and unsweetened coconut milk
4 large (200 grams) raw egg
1 teaspoon (2.5 grams) pure vanilla extract or the scrapings from 1/2 of a vanilla pod
Optional: sweetener of choice, cinnamon or nutmeg to sprinkle on top
DIRECTIONS
1You will need six 6-ounce glass custard dishes and a glass baking dish large enough to hold all six custard cups. Boil enough water to come 1/2 inch from the top of the custard cups. Do not fill the baking dish yet, set the water aside until the last step. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
2In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, and optional sweetener.
3Pour the custard into six custard cups. It is helpful if the custard cups are already placed in the baking dish. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top if desired.
4Place the baking dish on the oven rack and pour the hot water to within 1/2 inch of the top of the cups. Bake for 45 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean and the custard should have set firmly.
5Serve the custard warm and store covered in the refrigerator.
