# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch pie plate. This preparation ensures your 3-Ingredient Yogurt Custard Cake: Easy Low-Carb Dessert bakes evenly and releases easily from the pan.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt, 4 large eggs, and 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit blend sweetener until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well. This forms the velvety base for your 3-Ingredient Yogurt Custard Cake.
03 -
Gently fold in 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt into the yogurt mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix. This helps achieve the perfect texture for your easy low-carb dessert.
04 -
Pour the prepared batter into your greased baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. The top should be lightly golden, indicating it's perfectly cooked.
05 -
Remove the 3-Ingredient Yogurt Custard Cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set and firm up.
06 -
Before serving, slice the chilled custard cake into 8 portions. Garnish each slice with 1/2 cup fresh mixed berries and fresh mint sprigs, if desired. Enjoy this delightful and easy low-carb dessert!
# Notes:
01 -
The 1/2 cup erythritol provides a moderate sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount to your personal preference, adding more or less based on your desired sweetness level.
02 -
Store any leftover 3-Ingredient Yogurt Custard Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It often tastes even better the next day!
03 -
Using full-fat Greek yogurt is crucial for the rich, velvety texture of this custard cake. Low-fat or regular yogurt may result in a less firm and more watery consistency.
04 -
While delicious on its own, a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts can elevate this easy low-carb dessert even further.
