Ingredients:

1/4 Cup Carb Counters™ Gluten Free Whip It Up™ Instant Dessert Maker (Packed)
2 Large or Extra Large Eggs

Instructions:

Preheat Oven to 325°.

Place 4 ramekins or custard cups in an 8" or 9" baking pan. Using hot water, pour a 1" high level of water around the cups.

In a medium sized bowl, place the Whip It Up™ and add 1-3/4 cups HOT water. Whisk to mix well. Add the eggs and continue to whisk until smooth and creamy - about one minute more. Pour the mixture into the 4 cups in the baking pan and carefully place the pan onto the center oven rack. Bake for 35-45 minutes (until knife inserted in the middle of the custards comes out clean.) Remove the custard cups from the baking pan and cool. Chill and serve. Custards will keep in the fridge for a week. Less than one net carb per serving.

Variations:

Sprinkle cinnamon lightly over custards before or after baking.
For Toasted Coconut topping: combine and sprinkle 2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut with 1 Tablespoon Sugar Not™ Spoonful™ Natural Sugar Replacement with 1 Tablespoon melted butter. Broil for 3 minutes.
For Chocolate Custards, simply use Carb Counters™ Gluten Free Whip It Up™ Instant Dessert Maker in Chocolate. For creme brulee: Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of Sugar Not™ Spoonful™ Natural Sugar Replacement over the tops of the baked and cooled custards. Broil for 2 minutes - note: check half way through to be sure not to burn topping.
