Flavors of Fall always include some maple and cinnamon and that's exactly what you'll find in this creamy custard! Made with a secret ingredient to keep this beauty of a dessert low carb you won't care or notice it's made minus real maple syrup! The smooth texture goes on for days with each spoonful and the maple and cinnamon linger on your tastebuds making this the best combination in the world!
Slow Cooker Desserts
Would you believe these custards were made in the slow cooker? Making dessert in the crock pot or slow cooker might not be something you've ever done, but once you try it, you'll wonder why it took you so long in the first place! My favorite desserts in the slow cooker include; Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie Bars, Crock Pot Dairy Free Fudge and my Blueberry Custard!
My entire family, all 3 picky kids and the picky hubs loved this custard! My oldest teen said, "It tastes like perfect French Toast, but without the bread!" My youngest was happy no tree nuts were involved in the making of this recipes since he has a tree nut and peanut allergy. And my daughter said it was so delicious and, "Can I have more Whipped Cream on it?" So to me, it's a winner and it was so completely easy!
Easy Egg Custard
Just 5 ingredients are needed plus a pinch of salt and a little ground cinnamon, mix it all up, pour into small ramekins like I did for this recipe or even make it in one large dish or right in the crock pot itself. I prefer the perfectly portioned ramekins and that way no one can overindulge.
Slow Cooker or Oven Custard
- If you prefer to make this in an Oven, I would suggest 325 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, in a water bath is preferably.
Brenda's Notes:
- If you don't have maple extract you can certainly use real maple syrup but of course that will change the calories and carbs of the entire recipe. Just use a small amount perhaps 2 tablespoons.
- I love Sukrin Gold as a replacement for all things that need that brown sugar flavor and this product works perfectly in this recipe, but if you don't have it on hand you can sub with whatever sweetener you prefer.
- I've made this with all Heavy Cream instead of using the whole milk and it was equally as delicious. Using all heavy cream will also increase your calories but will reduce your carbs.
- These are the Ramekins I purchased for my Slow Cooker.

- Close the lid and cook for 2 hours on high or when the center is set but still jiggly in the middle.
- Remove from the slow cooker and cool to room temperature for 1 hour then place in the fridge to chill for 2 hours.

What could I 7se instead of the coconut milk?
More heavy cream would be fine.
Do you measure the brown sugar packed or loose?
Thanks!!
packed
Do I need to put any water around the ramekins in the slow cooker? I've never used my slow cooker without liquid!
Nope you don't. It's such a low temp no need for a water bath.
Could these be made in a large glass pie dish instead of individual ramekins? I don't have enough ramekins.
Yes that would work fine.
Made this yesterday and it is so good! Being diabetic I miss decadent desserts and this cured all my cravings. My husband loved it too.
Thank you!
Can this be cooked on the oven
My slow cooker is too small
sure, 325 F for 30 minutes then check, if center is set but still jiggly then take it out, if not let it go another 10-15 minutes.
Can I sub 2% milk or half and half for the whole milk?
Hi there , can I use coconut cream and coconut milk. Many thanks .....Joy
I'm sure you could but I have not tried it to say for sure how it would turn out.
Do you have any idea how long to cook in an instant pot?
Did you cook them on the low or high crockpot setting? I'm guessing high, but wanted to verify. Thanks!
Sorry I forgot to add that will fix it now, yes it was high.
