Diet Lime Angel Custard Recipe

The Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granular Sugar Twin
1/4 cup granular Splenda
Grated zest of 3 limes
4 large eggs, separated
2 tbsp finely-ground almond meal
2 tbsp gluten flour
1/2 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cup whipping cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cream the butter, sweeteners, and lime zest together. Beat in the egg
yolks, almond meal and gluten flour. Stir in the lime juice and whipping
cream. It's OK if the mixture looks curdled.

Beat the eggs to stiff peaks and fold into the lime mixture. Place a
1-quart baking dish, 8 ramekins or custard cups into a larger pan. Fill
with the custard and pour hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up
the sides of the dish(es).

Bake for 45 minutes until the top is puffed and golden brown -- but still
jiggly in the middle -- for the larger dish, 30 to 35 minutes for the
smaller dishes. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled.

Comments: This custard is like a crème brulee with a thin, soft,
meringue-like top. You can use lemon juice if you prefer or substitute
water for the juice and add 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract or a few
drops of extract of your choice, which will lower the carb count by 10
grams.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
