I wanted to modify this famous restaurant delicacy and create something healthier for an everyday menu. This recipe uses stevia instead of regular sugar and one scoop of Blackbelt Whey Protein Concentrate Vanilla for some extra nutrition. If you don’t own a culinary torch, you can simply burn custards in the oven. The taste will remain the same. Enjoy!
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 50 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups skim milk
1 cup powdered stevia (divided in half)
4tbsp granulated sugar for topping
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 x 40-gram scoop Blackbelt Whey Protein Concentrate Vanilla
8 egg yolks
¼ tsp salt
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine heavy cream with ½ cup of sugar. Using a sharp knife, scrape the seeds out of your vanilla bean and add them to your heavy cream mixture. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk together. Gently simmer over medium-low heat for five minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, salt, and protein powder. Add one scoop of warm cream mixture and mix well again until completely smooth. Combine egg yolks with a heavy cream mixture and pour into four standard-sized ramekins. Set aside.
Place each ramekin in a roasting pan and pour enough boiling water to reach up to about 1/3 of the way. Bake for 40 minutes. Custards should tremble slightly in the center when shaken. Remove from the oven and chill for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over each custard. Burn evenly with a culinary torch until brown.
