Custard-Low Carb
- 1 14 cups heavy cream
- 34 cup sugar-free vanilla syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 6 eggs
- Heat oven to 350F.
- In the saucepan, combine cream, vanilla syrup, vanilla, and Splenda.
- Bring to a bare simmer over medium-low heat.
- Separate 3 of the eggs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining whole eggs and the yolks.
- Whip the eggs with a whisk until slightly thickened and lightened in color.
- While whisking the eggs, drizzle in about a quarter of the hot milk.
- Now whisk the tempered eggs back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a glass or stainless steel bowl with a spout.
- Pour the egg mixture through the strainer in order to catch any curdled egg bits or particles that may be in the mixture.
- Place the custard cups into the roasting pan.
- Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and pour boiling water into the pan just under the level of the custard.
- Cook the custard for about 40 min, or until they wobble slightly when the pan is wiggled.
- You can also insert a paring knife midway between the edge and the center.
- If it comes out clean, the flans are done.
- Using tongs, remove the cups from the pan to a towel-lined sheet pan.
- Cool, cover and chill.
