Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Small saucepan
- Baking dish
- Parchment paper
- Oven-safe mug or ramekin
- Electric mixer (optional but helpful)
- Oven
Ingredients
- For the Coffee Custard:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2-3 tsp instant coffee powder (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 tsp keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For the Roll (Optional):
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp keto sweetener
- 1 tsp melted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Grease your baking dish or ramekin with a little butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Coffee Custard Mixture
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream and almond milk, whisking continuously until well-combined.
- Add the coffee powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the coffee and sweetener have dissolved completely.
- Let the mixture sit for a minute to allow flavors to blend.
Step 3: Pour and Bake
- Pour the custard mixture into your greased baking dish.
- Place the dish inside a larger baking pan, then carefully pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of your dish (this water bath ensures even baking).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set but still a bit jiggly in the center.
Step 4: Make the Roll (Optional)
- In a small bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, egg, sweetener, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread thinly to form a rectangle.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Once cool, roll up the flat “cake” and slice it into rolls.
Step 5: Serve
- Once the custard is out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. Top with coffee roll slices if you made them.
- Optionally, add a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Adjust the Coffee Flavor: Add more or less coffee powder depending on your preferred strength.
- Roll Texture: For a fluffier roll, add a bit of baking soda in addition to baking powder.
- Sweetener Choices: Erythritol or monk fruit work well here, but you can adjust to your preferred level of sweetness.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave at 50% power, or enjoy chilled!
