Keto Custard Jelly Cups

A refreshing and low-carb dessert that combines creamy custard with a fruity jelly layer. These Keto Custard Jelly Cups are the perfect treat for anyone following a keto lifestyle, offering a cool and sweet option without the carbs.

Ingredients:

For the Custard:

• 4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for a creamier texture)
• 4 tablespoons keto-friendly custard powder (or use egg yolks for a homemade version)
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour (for a smooth and thick texture)
• Keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose) to taste

For the Jelly Layer:

• 1 box sugar-free strawberry jelly (or any flavor of your choice)

Optional Garnish:

• Fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
• Mint leaves

Method:

1. Prepare the Custard:
   • In a saucepan, combine 4 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 4 tablespoons of keto-friendly custard powder, 1 tablespoon of coconut flour, and your choice of keto-friendly sweetener to taste.
   • Stir the mixture well to ensure everything is fully combined.
2. Cook the Custard:
   • Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
   • Once the custard has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
3. Chill the Custard:
   • Let the custard cool slightly, then pour it into serving cups, filling them halfway.
   • Place the cups in the refrigerator and allow the custard to set for about 1 hour.
4. Prepare the Jelly Layer:
   • While the custard is setting, prepare the jelly layer. In a separate bowl, dissolve the sugar-free jelly in 1 cup of boiling water.
   • Stir well to ensure the jelly dissolves completely. Then, add 1 cup of cold water and mix.
   • Let the jelly cool slightly.
5. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Once the custard has set, pour the prepared jelly mixture gently over the custard layer in each serving cup.
   • Place the cups back into the refrigerator and let the jelly layer set completely, about 2-3 hours.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • After the jelly has fully set, you can garnish your keto custard jelly cups with fresh berries and mint leaves for a decorative touch.
   • Serve chilled and enjoy this deliciously cool and creamy dessert!

Additional Tips:

• Texture Adjustment: If you prefer a creamier custard, substitute the almond milk with coconut milk for a richer texture.
• Flavors: While strawberry jelly is a popular choice, feel free to experiment with other sugar-free jelly flavors like raspberry, blueberry, or lemon for variety.
• Sweetener: Adjust the amount of keto sweetener according to your personal taste preferences. Some sweeteners are sweeter than others, so start with a small amount and add more as needed.

This dessert is perfect for hot weather, offering a light yet indulgent treat. It’s keto-friendly, sugar-free, and can be easily customized to suit your flavor preferences! Enjoy!
