Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time2 hours 45 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 cup baking stevia or erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 10 ounces high-quality dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Place four ramekins inside a large oven-safe baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches about three-quarters up the sides of the ramekins; remove the ramekins and leave the water-filled dish in the oven to preheat.
  • Lightly spray the ramekins with cooking spray and set them aside.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine 4 egg yolks, 1 egg white, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup baking stevia or erythritol, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, and 2 tablespoons honey. Blend on high until smooth and fully combined.
  • Evenly divide the custard mixture among the prepared ramekins, then carefully place the ramekins back into the preheated water-filled baking dish.
  • Bake for 35 to 38 minutes, or until the custard tops feel just set when lightly touched.
  • Switch the oven to high broil and broil the custards for 2 to 3 minutes, watching very closely, until the tops develop a light golden-brown color.
  • Remove the ramekins from the water bath and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy.
