  How to Make Easy Keto Flan – Step by Step

   

  Preparing the Mixture

  
  Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  
  Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium while stirring constantly until the sweetener dissolves completely. Tip: Avoid boiling to maintain the creaminess of the flan.
  
  

  Combining with Eggs

  
  Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re smooth and slightly frothy. Tip: This ensures your flan will have a uniform texture.
  
  Step 4: Slowly integrate the warm almond milk mixture into the eggs. Pour gradually while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking prematurely.
  
  

  Assembling and Baking

  
  Step 5: Pour the combined mixture into individual ramekins or a single flan mold.
  
  Step 6: Create a bain-marie or water bath by placing the ramekins in a larger baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This ensures gentle cooking and prevents cracking.
  
  Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the keto flan is set but still a bit wobbly in the center. Tip: This slight jiggle lets you know it won’t overcook.
  
  

  Cooling and Serving

  
  Step 8: Remove from the oven, and allow your flan to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a refrigerator and let chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  
  Step 9: To serve, run a knife along the edges of each ramekin and invert onto a plate to showcase that elegant, finished product.
