Add cream, sugar substitute, vanilla and salt. Pour into two ungreased 6 ounce custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Set in a pan containing 1/2 to 1 inch of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until set. ______________________ Variation: Add 2 TBS shredded (2gr)(unsweetened) coconut (freezer case) 1 1/2 tsp coconut extract OR substitute coconut MILK for the cream for the same number of carbs. (plus 1 per serv for the coconut--.5 per double recipe(4 servs). _____________________ Variation: Add 1/2 tsp almond extract plus 1/2 tsp vanilla Measure 1/4 cup almonds, THEN chop Make your own whipped topping and place that on top of the custard and top w/the chopped almonds. Instead of cream, I use half&half and this cuts the carbs in half from the cream. If you open a can of coconut milk for this, you can freeze it in an ice tray and make a 'shake' out of it. Just put 5 of the frozen cubes of coconut milk in your blender along w/a cupful of ice, 1/2 c cream or half and half and splenda to taste. Blend on high until the ice is broken down. YUM! Number of Servings: 2 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 5 Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Source: CiCi

Yes | Rating: 5    Pros: Cons: Half anf half has more carbs than heavey whipping cream. Heavey whipping cream has the least amount of carbs compared to half and half and cream. Heavy whipping cream has only .4 carbs per tablespoon vs. half and half at .6 carbs which is over the .5 (halfway point) mark making it actually 1 full carb per serving . Just thought I would share that info with you.
