Ingredients
1¼ cups heavy cream
¾ cup unsweetened cashew milk
170g (6oz) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
5 large egg yolks
⅔ cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (about 8 inches long), or 1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp fine sea salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 165°C/325°F.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream and cashew milk to a simmer. Remove from the heat once it has reached a simmer and immediately stir in the chopped chocolate. Allow to sit for 2 minutes before stirring until well combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. To combine, stir everything together thoroughly. To avoid scrambling the eggs, slowly stream the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture while whisking.
- Divide the mixture evenly among six greased 120g/4-oz ramekins. Fill an 11 by 9-inch baking dish halfway with ramekins. Pour hot water around the ramekins until it reaches two-thirds of the way up the sides. 30 minutes in the oven, or until the custard is set (the centre will jiggle ever so slightly when you shake the pan).
- Remove the pan from the oven but keep the ramekins in the hot water for another 5 minutes. Remove them from the water after 5 minutes and set aside to cool completely. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
- These custards can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if tightly covered.
