A smooth, creamy keto-friendly flan with classic vanilla custard flavor and a sugar-free caramel-style topping, perfect for a low-carb and gluten-free dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated keto sweetener (such as monk fruit or erythritol blend)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup additional granulated keto sweetener (for caramel-style syrup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine water and keto sweetener for the caramel-style syrup. Heat gently until dissolved and slightly thickened.
  3. Pour a thin layer of the syrup into the bottom of a flan mold or individual ramekins.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  5. Add heavy cream, keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking gently until fully combined.
  6. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the prepared caramel layer.
  7. Place the mold or ramekins into a baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Sugar-free caramel remains syrupy and does not harden like traditional caramel.
  • Avoid overbaking to maintain a silky texture.
  • Use a water bath for even cooking.
  • Chill thoroughly for best flavor and consistency.
