Low-Carb Fig Almond Custards
What Started it all:
Fubuki's Japanese Freeze Dried Fig Powder, Flour, Egg Yolks, Almond Extract,
Alright, listen up! We’re making a decadent low-carb dessert that’s going to knock your socks off! These Fig Almond Custards are rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We’re using Fubuki’s Japanese Freeze Dried Fig Powder to give it that sweet, fruity kick without the carbs. Let’s get cracking!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Fubuki's Japanese Freeze Dried Fig Powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)
- Sweetener of your choice (to taste, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Get that heat going, we want these custards perfectly baked!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and almond extract. Whisk them together like your life depends on it until they’re well blended. No lumps, alright?
- In another bowl, mix the almond flour and Fubuki’s freeze-dried fig powder. Make sure it's combined well—look for that lovely purple hue.
- Gradually pour in the almond milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously. We’re looking for a smooth, creamy texture. If you’re using sweetener, add it now—taste as you go!
- Now, fold in the dry ingredients (the almond flour and fig powder mix) into the wet mixture. Be gentle, but don’t be lazy! We want a nice, even batter.
- Grease four ramekins with a bit of butter or oil—don’t skip this step! Then, pour the custard mixture evenly into each ramekin.
- Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This is a water bath, and it helps cook the custards evenly—no one likes a dry custard!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Keep an eye on them!
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to the fridge to chill for at least an hour. Patience is a virtue!
- Serve chilled, and for an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of the fig powder on top or drizzle with a low-carb syrup if you fancy it.
There you have it! A low-carb dessert that’s not just easy to make but absolutely delicious. Get in there, impress your friends and family, and show them what you’re made of! Now go on, and don’t mess it up!
