Keto Flan (with heavy cream and erythritol)

Keto Flan (with heavy cream and erythritol) is a delicious low-carb dessert that is perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. This creamy and decadent dessert is made with heavy cream and erythritol, a natural sweetener that won't spike your blood sugar levels.

Ingredients (per serving):

- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Cooking tips:

- Use a ramekin or small baking dish for individual servings.
- Make sure to whisk the ingredients well to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Allow the flan to cool completely before serving to allow it to set properly.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the erythritol over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown.
3. Pour the melted erythritol into the bottom of a ramekin or small baking dish.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Pour the cream mixture over the melted erythritol in the ramekin.
6. Place the ramekin in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekin.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the ramekin from the water bath and allow it to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the ramekin to loosen the flan.
10. Invert the ramekin onto a plate to release the flan.
