Description
This keto flan is a silky, creamy low-carb dessert with a smooth custard texture and rich caramel flavor. Made with allulose and simple pantry ingredients, it delivers the classic taste of traditional flan while remaining sugar-free and keto-friendly.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup allulose
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup allulose
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk or other milk of choice
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease six small ramekins and set aside.
- To make the caramel, combine 1/2 cup allulose and water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until dissolved, then increase to medium heat and cook until golden amber.
- Carefully pour the caramel into the ramekins, swirling to coat the bottoms evenly.
- Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan over low heat for a few minutes without boiling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining allulose, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour the warm coconut milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
- Pour the custard evenly into the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins into a deep baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Run a knife around the edges and invert each flan onto a serving plate before serving.
Notes
- Heavy cream can replace coconut milk for a richer custard.
- Add cinnamon or orange zest for additional flavor.
- Espresso powder creates a delicious coffee-flavored variation.
- Fresh berries or whipped cream make excellent toppings.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before serving.
- Allulose works best because it caramelizes properly.
- A water bath is important for a smooth and creamy texture.
