Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy:
- 5 eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter, melted
- ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk
Sweetener and Flavoring:
- ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered monkfruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 325°F and prepare an 8″ x 8″ glass baking dish with a light butter coating, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Whip eggs vigorously until they transform into a frothy, airy texture, creating soft peaks with noticeable volume.
- Incorporate powdered monkfruit sweetener into the eggs, whisking energetically until the mixture adopts a delicate pale yellow hue, which typically requires 2-3 minutes of consistent motion.
- Gently introduce almond milk, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract into the egg blend, maintaining a smooth, consistent stirring technique to prevent ingredient separation.
- Stream melted butter into the mixture while continuously whisking, creating a light, uniform consistency with visible frothy bubbles throughout the liquid.
- Transfer the silky mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly to ensure consistent depth and smooth surface.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, observing the natural caramelized sugar crust forming on top, which indicates proper cooking progression.
- Remove from oven and allow complete cooling at room temperature, recognizing that the center will naturally firm up and solidify during the resting phase.
- Once thoroughly cooled, slice into precise square portions, revealing the creamy, delicate texture beneath the caramelized top layer.
- Refrigerate any remaining bars in an airtight container to maintain optimal freshness and texture.
Notes
- Gentle whisking transforms eggs into a light, airy base that sets the foundation for these dreamy keto dessert bars.
- Monkfruit sweetener provides natural sweetness without adding carbs, making this a perfect low-carb treat that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
- Baking creates a magical sugary crust on top, which is completely normal and adds an authentic crème brûlée texture to the bars.
- Let the bars cool completely to allow proper setting, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency that melts in your mouth.
- Refrigeration helps maintain the bars’ structure and enhances their rich, custard-like flavor profile.
- Use an 8×8 glass pan for even heat distribution, guaranteeing a perfectly cooked dessert with a silky smooth texture.
