This was the first keto dessert I ever tried and it was so nice that I knew I could do keto and not feel like I was missing out
Yummy!
Thank you, we think so too!
This is a constant in my kitchen, I use cocoa to make it choc custard. It’s my replacement for choc vigeur yoghurt as my afternoon treat. I team it with berry and chia jam from your other recipe, if this is keto, then this is life 🙂
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that you love this recipe 🙂
My kids love this too…so I hide it!
Will it still work with whole eggs instead?
Oh thats so great to hear! It will, however only cook it to 70C and if serving warm you might find it has a bit of an ‘eggy’ aroma, to combat this you can add a little lemon zest of a drop of edible lemon essential oil to the recipe
