INGREDIENT NOTES:

SKIM MILK:

  • It is the base of the custard that gives a silky texture to the recipe. Skim milk has low calories and fat, which makes the dessert satisfying. You may use cold milk as per your preference.

EGGS:

  • They are an important component in the recipe to make the thick custard. Eggs give richness without including cream and make the silky consistency. You may use an egg substitute made for baking as another option.

GRANULATED ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • It gives a sweet taste and keeps the calories low in the dessert. This sweetener dissolves well in the mixture and makes the dessert Weight Watchers-friendly. You may use erythritol as an alternative.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • This gives a classic custard taste and maintains the egg flavor. Vanilla extract improves the sweetness naturally and gives a richer dessert. You may use maple extract as a substitute.

GROUND CINNAMON:

  • It improves the vanilla taste and gives natural sweetness to the custard. Ground cinnamon creates a comforting aroma and gives a warm spice taste. Apple pie spice is a good alternative as well.
