No-Sugar, Grain-Free Custard Cake

This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” texture with a professional, “bakery-perfect” caramelized top.

Ingredients

The “Magic” Base: 2 cups Whole Milk or full-fat Coconut Milk (the “secret” to that “velvety” richness).

The Protein: 4 large Eggs (the “wow” factor for that perfect set).

The Sweetener: 3/4 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (a professional-grade substitute to avoid the “sugar fog”).

The “Treasure” Thickener: 1/4 cup Almond Flour or Coconut Flour (instead of white flour).

The Aromatics: 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract and a pinch of Nutmeg (exactly like that classic, “steakhouse-quality” flavor).

The Finish: 2 tbsp melted Grass-Fed Butter.

Preparation Steps

1. The Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a glass oval casserole dish (just like the one in your “wow” photo) with butter or coconut oil.

2. The Whisk: In a large glass bowl, whisk the eggs and monk fruit sweetener until they are light and “unbelievable.”

3. The Infusion: Slowly pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the almond flour and nutmeg, whisking until the mixture is “velvety” and smooth.

4. The Pour: Pour the “magic” liquid into your prepared dish. For a professional, “bakery-perfect” finish, place the dish inside a larger pan filled with an inch of hot water (a water bath).

5. The Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight, professional “wow” jiggle. The top should be a beautiful, “steakhouse-quality” golden brown.

6. The Reveal: Let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours. Slice into professional squares, exactly like the one being lifted in your picture!
