Directions
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F

Custard: Whip all the custard ingredients and strain to remove the stringy white things in the eggs. An alternate method is to blend in a blender.

Pour about an inch of water into a water bath, (I use a glass bread pan). Pour about 1 cup custard into ramekins or small metal mixing bowls. You should fill them up a little over 1/2 full.

Bake between 30 - 45 minutes and test, using a knife in the center, it should come out clean.

Let them sit for 5 minutes on the stove or counter before you move them to the refrigerator to cool completely.

Make the orange syrup just before you serve.
The syrup is water and stevia plus 4 drops of Orange Extract. You pour the syrup over the top of the custard and enjoy.

You can also add nuts.
