Aunt Rocky’s Almost Flan (Dairy Free)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Fill a 13×9 baking pan with about 1 inch of water. Set aside.

Set out 9 half-cup serving custard cups, ramekins, or Mason jars. (I use Mason jars with lids so portions can be stored after cooling.)

Place all ingredients in an 8-cup measuring up or large mixing bowl. Use an egg beater or hand mixer to blend the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and egg mixture is a consistent creamy color.

Immediately pour into baking dishes. Carefully place the baking dishes into the pan of water. Gently put the pan in the oven. Bake 50 minutes, or until a knife placed in the center of a custard comes out clean.

Use a narrow spatula to slowly lift each cup out of the water and transfer to a cooling rack. Discard water from the baking pan. Allow custard to cool on the counter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely chilled and set.

Extra servings may be frozen and defrosted on the counter or in the refrigerator.

Notes:
• I have not made this as a single large bowl of custard, but you could. Start by baking 1 hour, then check every 10 minutes until custard is completely set in the center.
• If you want a sweeter custard, or if you want to dress up the serving a bit, turn custard out into small shallow bowl and top with a dollop of sugar free whipped cream and a drizzle of your favorite sugar-free caramel sauce or pancake syrup.
• I don’t get any commission or kickback for products I use or mention in my recipes. Brand names are included only to more accurately assess nutritional estimates, which are based on exact ingredients I used. Nutrition estimates are calculated per serving with My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. If you make any changes to the ingredients, your results may differ. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. I do not include sugar alcohols or liquid sucralose in my nutrition counts, as they are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index.
