Low-Carb Baked Egg Pudding. Cozy Comfort Food: Only 3 Easy Ingredients
Grandpa made this yummy warm treat when there was almost no food left in the kitchen. It always feels just right and makes you happy.
This super-simple pudding uses just eggs, cream, and sweet powder to make a soft, creamy dessert that’s low in carbs. Grandpa’s trick bakes it gently in a water bath for a smooth texture with no lumps. Warm or cold, it’s like a hug in a bowl—nutty top adds cozy flavor!)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
4 big eggs
-
2 cups thick whipping cream
-
1/3 cup low-carb sweet powder (like erythritol or monk fruit mix), plus a tiny bit more if you want it sweeter
-
A sprinkle of ground nutmeg on top (optional and yummy; not one of the main 3)
Low-Carb Baked Egg Pudding: Directions
-
Heat your oven to 325°F (that’s about 165°C). Put two small foil pans (around 5×7 inches) on a baking sheet with edges. This makes it simple to slide them in and out.
-
In a bowl, mix the eggs with a whisk until they’re all blended and a little bubbly—not too much. This keeps the pudding nice and smooth when baked.
-
Stir in the thick cream and sweet powder. Whisk well until the powder melts in and everything turns light yellow. Taste a tiny bit and add more sweetness if you like.
-
Pour the mix evenly into the foil pans. Don’t fill them more than 3/4 full so it has space to rise a bit.
-
If you want, shake a light layer of nutmeg over the top of each one. It gives a warm taste and pretty brown dots.
-
Add hot water from the tap to the baking sheet around the pans. Make it halfway up the sides. This warm bath helps it cook soft without getting bumpy.
-
Slide the sheet into the hot oven. Bake 30-40 minutes until edges are firm but the middle wiggles a little when you tap the pan. Top should be light yellow with golden edges.
-
Take it out and lift the pans from the water. Cool on the counter 10-15 minutes to eat warm, or chill in the fridge 2-3 hours for it firmer.
-
Right before eating, add more nutmeg if you like. Scoop from the pans with a spoon, or cut into squares if cold.
