    Perfect. I made it almost exactly to the recipe except I did half n half in place of the almond milk. I really cannot tell that it was substitute sugar. This is simply, custard, and there is no need to feel like you are missing something if this is a favorite dessert.

    I LOVE this recipe. I have missed custard so much but now that I have this recipe, I make it sometimes 2x a week. I wish now I could find a Keto rice pudding this easy. I set my custard in the oven for tonight’s snack. Can’t wait.

    I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing! I had to substitute allulose and stevia for the swerve and coconut milk for the almond milk and it ended up divine! Definitely will make again!

    Absolutely perfect. I was concerned that it would taste different from traditional custards with the addition of the almond milk. But not only was it sensational but the lowering of the calories was an added bonus. Will be definitely be making this again. Used erythritol (1/2 cup) as the sweetener.

    • Hi Rosemary, so glad that it worked for you. We have used erythritol with success as well. Thank you for your kind words.

    I’m thinking a keto crust for a cheese cake and adding in sweet coconut to this recipe it would make a French coconut pie

  6. Hi Michelle,

    I think you might be looking at a different product or misreading the label as Natvia has 0g net carbs per 100g. Sugar alcohols are not included in carb counts as they have no impact on blood sugar, so just double check that you haven’t counted them by accident.

  7. I made a custard pie (not your recipe) with only almond milk. The result was set custard on top of ¹/² in of water! Gross…. before I try your recipe have you ever had this issue? I am assuming using ¹/² almond and ¹/² heavy cream will gratify this? Thanks so much

    • Hi Julie,

      I have noticed that almond milk has a tendency to split when cooked. We haven’t had anything like that happen with this recipe, only positive comments coming from people who have made it. I hope that addresses your concerns 🙂

  8. Love this! I make it in individual servings so I have portion control otherwise I could eat the whole thing at once!

    • Guilty! I ate the whole thing myself when I made this last week ‍♀️ But it was two separate days so I think it’s not so bad??? ‍♀️ It was just too yummy!

  9. Mine is in the oven as I’m typing this! Used 2 oz Monk fruit granulated sweetener, vanilla almond milk (unsweetened) and vanilla extract. I tasted before I put in the oven and I’m soooo excited! Thank you for this recipe!!

  10. I used Swerve granulated and 1% milk instead of almond milk. It was absolutely delicious. I thought it was just sweet enough and the nutmeg gave it an added bonus. Will definitely make this again! My non low carb family even liked it, but I’m not sharing next time.

  11. Can you substitute Swerve (granular or powdered) in a 1:1 ratio for the NatVia? It’s not available in my area and the Amazon link shows only available from third party sellers.

    Can you substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla essence in a 1:1 ratio?

  12. Beautiful desert; very simple yet delicious. Note, I used a shallower dish so it took 15 minutes less time; I would have preferred more depth but didn’t have a deeper dish.
