Carnivore Egg Custard Recipe

Carnivore Egg Custard Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• 1 ½ cups heavy cream (or a mix of heavy cream and full-fat coconut milk for a twist)

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional if you’re not strictly carnivore)

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: sweetener like stevia or monk fruit (if desired, but not necessary for strict carnivores)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prepare the Custard Mixture:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten.

   • Slowly add the heavy cream, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

3. Sweeten (Optional):

   • If you like a sweeter custard, you can add your preferred sweetener at this point. Start with a small amount and taste to adjust.

4. Strain the Mixture:

   • To ensure a super smooth custard, you can strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl. This step helps remove any egg bits or imperfections that might have formed during mixing.

5. Prepare the Baking Dish:

   • Pour the custard mixture into small ramekins or a larger baking dish, depending on your preference. A typical custard is often baked in ramekins, but you can use a pie dish or similar.

6. Bake the Custard:

   • Place the ramekins or dish in a large baking pan. Fill the baking pan with hot water to create a water bath (about halfway up the sides of the ramekins or dish). This helps cook the custard evenly and prevents it from curdling.

   • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center. You can check doneness by gently shaking the custard; it should firm up but not be completely solid in the middle.

7. Cool and Serve:

   • Let the custard cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until fully cooled.

   • Once chilled, serve as a rich and creamy treat!

Tips:

• If you don’t want the custard to have a yellowish color, use only egg whites. But this will give a different texture and consistency.

• You can add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top after baking if you like a hint of spice (although not strictly carnivore).

• For an even richer flavor, you can experiment by adding a little beef tallow instead of butter.

Enjoy your velvety, indulgent carnivore egg custard! Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while staying true to the carnivore diet. Let me know if you try it! 😊
