Paleo Lemon Sponge Custard

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grass fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon rind grated or minced very fine (~ 1/2 a lemon's worth)
  • 6 Eggs
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free flour blend Hagman blend works well; for Paleo version, use 1 tsp almond flour and 2 teaspoons coconut flour.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice fresh squeezed from ~1/2 lemon tastes best
  • 1 cup whole unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/8 - 1/4 tsp liquid stevia
  • 1 tbsp extra butter, ghee or coconut oil for greasing ramekins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease ramekins on bottoms and sides. Place in refrigerator until ready to fill.
  • Cream honey, butter (or ghee or coconut oil) and lemon rind to smooth consistency.
  • Separate the eggs, and set whites aside in small mixing bowl with tall sides. Add yolks and stevia to the honey mixture and beat well.
  • Stir in GF flour, and blend well; then stir in lemon juice, blend again; then add coconut milk and stir to evenly mixed.
  • Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks in the bowl you've set aside. Fold them gently into the honey mixture until blended but still puffy.
  • Pour the custard mixture into ramekins, to 2/3 full. Place all in a large baking pan or dish. Add ~1/2 to 1" hot tap water to the baking pan (not in the custard ramekins) and bake x 40-45 minutes.
  • When done, custards will be browned slightly more at edges than centers. Enjoy warm or cold. Delicious with cherry-raspberry sauce, link below.
