Slow Cooker Low Carb Maple Custard

This Creamy Maple Flavored Low Carb Custard is easily made in the slow cooker for a simple but fuss free dessert! Just 5 ingredients plus spices! Thank you to Horizon Organic for sponsoring this post. 

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!

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!

This year I’ve partnered with Horizon Organic to spotlight some of their products and continue to provide you low carb sugar free recipes for the whole family. 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!

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 here 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
