These Keto Egg Custard Tarts are gluten free, grain free, low carb and sugar free! 

Egg Custard Tart Recipe

A creamy egg custard is a comforting dish. Think creamy quiche filling but minus all the meat and veggies, just the custard. It’s a pretty simple recipe that doesn’t require many ingredients and most likely you have all of them in your fridge and in your pantry. Making them into individual portions in small tart pans such as these, makes it even easier not to overindulge.

Maybe when you think of a custard recipe, you’re thinking dessert, but a savory egg custard tart is a comforting keto meal. With just a few ingredients, you can enjoy this mini custard pie for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

How to Make Egg Custard

The pie crust is a perfect flaky crust and makes this custard extra special, but you can certainly skip the pie crust if you want to make this recipe even easier. I’ve made a simple vanilla egg custard without the crust and it’s still creamy and delicious. I’ve also made a Coffee Roll Egg Custard without a crust which is pretty delish as well.

You could even make this sweeter if you’d like it more for dessert. Just add more of your favorite sugar free sweetener. I’d add a few drops of Vanilla stevia to this creamy custard.

Instructions

To Make the Crust

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl beat coconut oil, eggs, sweetener and salt together with a fork then add coconut flour. Stir until dough holds together.
• Gather the dough into a ball, then pat into a 20cm greased tart pan or eight individual tart pans, mine were 4.75 inches each. Prick the dough with a fork.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown. Reduce oven to 300 degrees F.

To Make the Custard

• Heat the almond milk and vanilla in a saucepan until just barely simmering.
• Beat the eggs and the sweetener together and then very slowly trickle the hot milk in, whisking the whole time.
• Do not add the milk too fast or you will end up with scrambled eggs, the idea is to very slowly change the temperature of the eggs.
• Strain the custard and then carefully pour into your tart base(s).
• Bake in the oven at 300 degrees F for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve warm.
• Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust will soften.
