Low Calorie Vanilla And Cinnamon Custard Recipes

LOW CALORIE VANILLA AND CINNAMON CUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat milk and water in a saucepan.
• Combine cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Using a little water, mix it into a paste, then add to the saucepan.
• Cook until it thickens slightly.
• Cool, then add in the vanilla and artificial sweetener to taste.
• Serve chilled.
• You can experiment with different flavours such as mint or pandan (screw pine)leaves. In this case, heat the leaves together with the milk and water, and remove them before chilling.

VANILLA CUSTARD CUPS (LOW-FAT LOW-CARB)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cinnamon in a blender until almost smooth.
• Pour into 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place in a baking pan. Pour hot water into the pan, so that it reaches 1 inch up the sides of the custard cups. Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. To remove, dip cups in hot water for a few seconds. Loosen with the tip of a knife and invert onto a plate.

LOW CALORIE BUT CREAMY CUSTARD DESSERT.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar substitute, espresso powder or coffee, and vanilla extract until well blended. Pour into four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins and place in a 10" large, flat bottom pan.
• Fill the pan with water to 1/2" from the top of the custard cups. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cups from the skillet, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the custard, and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until chilled.
• Garnish with the cinnamon and lemon twists. A teaspoon of sugar free raspberry or blackberry jam is also delightful!

ATKINS CINNAMON CUSTARD

Steps:

• In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine heavy cream and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly to thoroughly blend cinnamon into cream, just until cream begins to steam (do not boil). Remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 300°F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar substitute and salt together until pale yellow and slightly thickened. Using a soup ladle and whisking constantly, very gradually pour in the hot cream. When all the cream has been added, whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Pour about 1/2 cup cream mixture into each of six 4-ounce custard cups (or pour entire mixture into a 2-quart round baking dish). Place the cups or baking dish in a roasting pan. Carefully pour enough boiling water in the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups or baking dish.
• Bake until custard is still slightly loose in center, about 30 minutes (for the baking dish, bake about 5 minutes more). Using an oven mitt, carefully remove cups from water bath.
• To unmold, chill custard for at least 4 hours or overnight. Run a knife around edge of custard cups to loosen, invert onto a serving plate, and top with caramel syrup (optional).
• Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold; top each serving with 1 tablespoon caramel syrup.
