6 ramekins
This recipe was based on the Key Lime Pie recipe from Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution book. I’ve amended a few ingredients to make this free from any artificial sweeteners. This is not really a “pie” since I’ve omitted any sign of a “crust” and used ramekins instead.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 T. lime zest
- 1 package unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 t. stevia powdered extract (I used NOW brand)
- 1 T. erythritol
- 1 T. vanilla
- 1/4 t. vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Beat egg yolks for 2 minutes. Slowly add lime juice until incorporated.
- Over low heat, cook egg mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat. Add gelatin, half of stevia (1/4 t.) erythritol. Stir until dissolved. Cool mixture in refrigerator.
- Beat egg whites, with vinegar, until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Beat heavy cream with vanilla and remaining half of stevia.
- Fold egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Then, fold combined egg mixture into whipped cream. Pour into 6 ramekins. Allow to set in refrigerator (about 2 hours).

How do you like the NOW brand in compared to Sweet Leaf? I tried the Vitamin World store brand of Stevia and it tasted like soap! I like the Sweet Leaf though.
Where can I get erythritol and what is it?
Because I doubt anyone would search "Key Lime Custard".

why not just change the name & call it a custard?
