Sugar-Free, Low-Carb Flan Recipe

Ingredients (Single Serving):

For the Caramel:

1 tablespoon allulose (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
2 drops stevia caramel flavoring (optional)
1/2 teaspoon water

For the Custard:

1 large egg
100 ml milk (about 1/3 cup; I recommend Fairlife Whole Milk for high protein and low sugar)
1 tablespoon allulose
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Caramel:

Add 1 tablespoon of allulose to a ramekin.
If using, add 2 drops of stevia caramel flavoring for extra depth.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of water to dissolve the sweetener, creating a syrup-like consistency.
Microwave the ramekin on high for 1–1.5 minutes, watching closely. The caramel will bubble and thicken.
Remove from the microwave and let the caramel set while you prepare the custard.

2. Make the Custard:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 100 ml milk, 1 tablespoon allulose, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.

3. Assemble the Flan:

Pour the custard mixture over the set caramel in the ramekin.

4. Cook the Flan:

Microwave the ramekin individually on medium power (50%) for about 3 minutes.
The flan is done when the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

5. Chill the Flan:

Refrigerate the flan for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.

6. Serve:

Run a knife around the edges of the ramekin to loosen the flan.
Invert onto a plate to release the flan with its caramel topping.

Tips for Success

Use Medium Power: Cooking on medium power ensures the custard cooks evenly without overcooking.
Watch the Caramel: Keep an eye on the caramel as it microwaves to prevent burning.
Chill Well: Let the flan chill for at least 30 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
Scale Up: Multiply the ingredients for larger batches—just cook each ramekin individually in the microwave.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of allulose and stevia caramel flavoring provides a sugar-free yet authentic caramel taste, while the custard remains rich and creamy thanks to high-quality milk and eggs. Cooking in the microwave keeps this recipe quick and foolproof, making it accessible for both novice and experienced bakers.
