Healthy Tips

This Keto Creamy Custard Cake is a very delicious, decadent dessert, and it is also low in carbs. This dessert has a smooth and velvety custard base and a light, airy top. This dessert is ideal for anyone on a ketogenic or gluten-free diet because it features low-carb components like almond milk, coconut flour, and Erythritol. This cake has a special texture that makes this dessert different and appealing. As the batter bakes, it separates into different layers and forms a soft sponge top & creamy custard underneath. This cake has a subtle vanilla flavor and it is mildly sweet, & is filling without a strong taste. We can have this Keto Creamy Custard Cake without anything, or we can add some whipped cream and fresh berries to enhance the taste.

TIPS:

• You don’t have to mix the egg whites too much and fold them softly with the batter otherwise the egg whites will get deflated.
• We can use a glass or metal pan for even baking.
• You have to properly cool down the cake so we can make the clean slices.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

FAQs:

Can we make this cake with the almond flour?

• No, we can’t make this cake with the almond flour & we just have to use the coconut flour to make this cake as it absorbs moisture well; we have to reformulate the ingredients if we have to use the almond flour.

How to make a dairy-free cake?

• We can use full-fat coconut cream in place of heavy cream to make this cake dairy-free.

 Zero-Carb Carnivore Cheese Buns (Makes ~6 small buns)

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar — full-fat, no fillers)

• 4 tbsp cream cheese

• 3 large eggs

• 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (key for chewy, bread-like texture)

• 1 tsp baking powder (optional; omit for strict zero-carb, or sub with ¼ tsp baking soda + vinegar)

• Pinch of salt

 Optional additions:

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan for extra crispiness

• 1 tbsp beef tallow or bacon grease for deeper flavor

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth (about 1½–2 minutes total). Or melt in a double boiler.

3. Mix eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add salt, baking powder (if using), and gelatin powder. Mix thoroughly.

4. Combine

Slowly stir the egg mixture into the melted cheese. Mix well with a spatula or hand mixer. Dough will be sticky but cohesive.

5. Shape the buns

Lightly oil your hands (with tallow or butter). Form dough into 6 small buns or rolls and place on the lined baking sheet.

6. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Tops should be firm but slightly springy.

 Storage:

• Keeps in the fridge for 5–6 days.

• Reheat in toaster oven or pan for best texture.

• Freezer-friendly!

 Texture Tips:

• Gelatin adds chew and mimics gluten. Don’t skip it!

• More cheese = denser buns, more egg = fluffier.

• Use full-fat cheeses without starch or anti-caking agents for true zero-carb compliance.
