White Chocolate Heaven!

Unless you live under a low carb rock somewhere you’ve likely heard of the new Bake Believe stevia-sweetened chocolate chips.

Bake Believe is a newer company out there that has recently launched three varieties of chocolate chips: dark, semi-sweet, and amazingly enough white chocolate!

As soon as I saw these new white chocolate chips advertised I set out on a mission to find them and test them out. I wanted to know if the hype coming from the company’s Facebook page was true.

If they were as tasty as they said with a bonus of easy to find, I was ready to try them out! Having a great sugar-free white chocolate would be huge for chocolate lovers like myself!

I was lucky enough to find them at two of our local Walmart stores and compared to the Lily’s Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Chips, the Bake Believe brand is the best price per ounce at $3.99 for their 9-ounce bag compared to the $8 bag of Lily’s at my local health food store. 

So I was excited to dive in and try these new white chocolate chips out! I

How to Make Mini Custards

Of course, it was only natural that I started testing out some recipes with the white chocolate since it was a new low carb option and a great way to get some new desserts in.

I knew that I didn’t want to start off with a cookie because I knew that there would be many low carb bloggers out there going for those and who wouldn’t right? Yum! But I wanted to do something a little different and something that would fit in with my quick and easy recipes I offer here on the blog.

I decided that I would start with one of my favorites, a custard. It is super easy to make and it is seriously so delicious that you won’t believe that it is sugar-free. It is rich and creamy and the perfect size for a treat when baked in these little ovenproof ramekins.

This recipe will also star in an upcoming pie recipe I’ll be sharing soon. You don’t want to miss that one either!

This recipe,  like most of my others,  is super simple to mix up and bakes quickly. These mini custards only require 5 ingredients and mix up really quickly.

All of these ingredients are easy to find in your local Walmart and each of them works well on any low carb and  THM “S” diet.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• 4 ounces of Bake Believe White Chocolate Chips
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon of THM Super Sweet (or Pyure Sweetener)
• pinch of salt

These simple ingredients may not sound like they would turn into anything special, but you’ll be surprised. It is truly magical when you take that first bite!

The white chocolate is so delicious and it melts perfectly into the heavy cream and egg yolks and with the sweetness of these Bake Believe white chocolate chips, you’ll need very little additional sweetener in this recipe.

The cream and egg yolks make these Mini White Chocolate Custards have a texture that is out of this world amazing! The mouthfeel is unbeatable and one that will have you coming back for more!

Best Cooking Method for Custards

While we are talking about the texture I wanted to talk to you about the technique I used that makes this dreamy texture possible.

Custards are one of those desserts that are very sensitive to oven temperature and overcooking. They do best when cooked on a lower temp like 325 degrees while in a water bath.

I know a lot of you may not like the idea of taking the extra step to use a water bath but you really are cheating yourself out of the heavenly texture it gives to custard.

Adding the hot water halfway up the sides of the small ramekins ensures the custards cook evenly keeping the soft velvety pudding cups from overcooking. 

I promise you, the water bath method is not hard and once you do it a time or two you will not be hesitant to cook this way anymore.

To use the water bath cooking method you will need a larger pan that will hold all 4 of your ramekins and the water that will be poured around the little cups. 

Safety is key when preparing your custards in the water bath. Always add the very hot water carefully so you don’t get burned. 

I suggest placing the custard cups into the larger pan and placing them on the oven rack first before slowing pouring in the hot water.

Doing it this way will make it easier than picking up the pan and moving it into the oven once it is full of the custards and the hot water.

This is a very rich dessert so having it as a treat in these little cups is an excellent way to enjoy it but not overindulge.

The individual portions store well in the fridge for up to a week if you want to make them ahead for a special dinner or just to have on hand for treats throughout the week.

If you are a white chocolate fan like my house is I  hope you’ll give these a try soon and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces of organic heavy whipping cream
• 4 ounces of Bake Believe White Chocolate Chips
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon of THM Super Sweet or Erythritol of choice
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a medium saucepan add the heavy cream, white chocolate chips, and one tablespoon of sweetener. Place over medium heat and stir often until the chips have all melted.
3. As the mixture is heating add the 4 egg yolks and salt into a large bowl and beat well.
4. When the cream mixture is hot and all the white chips have dissolved the cream mixture is ready to slowly drizzle into the egg yolks.
5. It is very important that you whisk the yolks constantly as you add in the cream. Do not add the hot cream too fast as it will curdle the egg yolks and ruin the texture of the custards.
6. Once all the cream is mixed into the yolks sit the mixture aside and prepare your little ramekins (or ovenproof cups). To do this place the four cups into a larger pan. Remember it needs to be deep enough to hold a water bath for the custards.
7. Next, divide the white chocolate custard mix evenly between the 4 small cups.
8. At this time I turn my tap water onto the hottest and fill a small pitcher with the hot water.
9. Lastly, place the pan of custards onto the top rack of the oven and very carefully pour in very hot water into the larger pan. Be careful not to get any water into the custard cups. Note: the water needs to come up at least halfway. Do not skip this step as it creates an amazing texture.
10. Bake the mini custards for 35 minutes The middles will still have a slight wiggle to them when they are ready. Do not overcook these beauties.
11. Remove them from the and let them cool on a wire baking rack before. These can be eaten warm and will taste amazing, but I highly recommend letting them chill a couple of hours for the best results. The texture is out of this world good!

Notes

The Total Time on this recipe includes 2 hours of chilling in the refrigerator. That time can be shortened if you do not want them chilled.
