Follow These Steps to Keto Perfection

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Grease your baking dish or ramekin with a little butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Coffee Custard Mixture

1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth.
2. Gradually pour in the heavy cream and almond milk, whisking continuously until well-combined.
3. Add the coffee powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the coffee and sweetener have dissolved completely.
4. Let the mixture sit for a minute to allow flavors to blend.

Step 3: Pour and Bake

1. Pour the custard mixture into your greased baking dish.
2. 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).
3. 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)

1. In a small bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, egg, sweetener, and melted butter until smooth.
2. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread thinly to form a rectangle.
3. Bake in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden.
4. Once cool, roll up the flat “cake” and slice it into rolls.

Step 5: Serve

1. Once the custard is out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. Top with coffee roll slices if you made them.
2. Optionally, add a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream.

Expert Tips for Making This Dish Even Better

1. Perfecting the Custard: To avoid bubbles, strain the custard mixture through a sieve before baking.
2. Water Bath Tip: Use boiling water for the water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent cracks in the custard.
3. Roll Success: Let the roll cool completely before attempting to roll it to avoid cracking.
4. Extra Coffee Flavor: Dissolve the coffee powder in a tablespoon of hot water before adding it to the mixture for a stronger flavor.
5. Serving Suggestions: Top the custard with whipped cream or a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder for added richness.

Storage Tips: Keep Your Recipe Fresh for Longer

1. Refrigeration: Store leftover custard in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cover tightly to avoid absorbing fridge odors.
2. Freezing: The custard can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently.
3. Reheating: Warm leftovers in a water bath or microwave for a creamy texture. Avoid overheating to prevent separation.
4. Roll Storage: If you made the roll, store it separately in an airtight container to keep it from becoming soggy.
