Tis the season for pumpkin, pumpkin pie and other comforting pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin something something something.
After making a beet custard the other day becoming enlightened on how ridiculously easy it is to make custard, I then glanced around the interweb and modified various recipes into a low carb custard recipe. All these custards and puddings are making me want to go buy cuter ramekins. Why don’t they make black cat ramekins?

Those are awesome! I was specifically looking for ramekins with pictures of black kitties on them. But there isn’t much difference between a black cat and a black ramekin. Both look kind of blob-ish and cute!

Hi
I am enjoying reading your recipes and plan to try some.. I noticed there weren’t an nutritional info on this recipe. Also is there a print version of these?
Sparky says
Hi Patricia,
Again, my apologies for no print version – I have been meaning to install something that will allow for the recipes to be easily printable, so I will work on that.
I updated this post with the nutritional information; it comes to two net carbs per serving 🙂
