Inspiration for this Peppermint Keto Custard came from the classic summertime dessert, grasshopper pie. It’s a beautiful dessert combining a minty cream filling with a chocolate pie crust. Usually served chilled, this pie is ultra reviving to the palate when temperatures rise.

…but it’s a multi-step prep process

…and takes at least 30 minutes to make, plus, in some cases, prebaking the crust (when it’s really too hot for the oven!) and then you still have to let it chill…

Easy keto recipes don’t have to be difficult! I’m on a mission to prove that.

Peppermint custard. Keto. Low-carb. Sugar-free.

For this recipe, I focus just on the delightfully creamy filling and make a crustless filling, tummy toning, keto custard.

It’s sugar-free and low-carb which is perfect for anyone on a keto diet!

All in all, it becomes a more foolproof recipe and perfect for busy (and practical) people who like good food but don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen. Story of my life!

Cooking Tips For Keto Custard

Keto custard can be made entirely from natural, organic ingredients without any artificial flavors, preservatives, or added sugar. A homemade custard is far superior than anything you can find at the grocery store!

  • Love the mint chocolate combo of grasshopper pie? Serve with grated cacao paste shavings on top or mix in 4 tablespoons of cacao powder to the bowl of eggs and sweetener. If you add cacao, you want to use 2-4 tablespoons sweetener.
  • If serving for guests or a special occasion, top with extra whipped cream
  • Source raw, unpasteurized dairy whenever possible. Use our directory list here to source quality foods in your area.
  • Make ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to serve. It will be good for a few days after making, just keep in an air tight container.
  • Serve in on big dish or separate into 4 small ramekins for individual portions.
  • Batch the recipe and store in the fridge or freezer to last all week!

Sugar-Free Peppermint Custard

A pinch of sweetness (without the blood sugar roller coaster and crazy mental/emotional triggers) is made possible in this recipe by Lakanto’s Monkfruit sweetener.

Lakanto’s Monkfruit Sweetener is

  • ZERO GLYCEMIC – Will not increase blood sugar

Alternatives:

I use Lakanto exclusively, but if you can’t get it delivered to your area, use liquid stevia drops, a different brand of monkfruit sweetener, or erythritol instead. This recipe is pretty good on it’s own with out any sweetener added. It’s up to you if you want to boost the flavor up a sweeter notch or not.

Low Fiber & Carnivore-Friendly

Quick start guide to carnivore diet plan by jessica haggard.

Some folks find they prefer a fiber-free Carnivore Diet and can remedy auto-immune conditions, improve mental health, and achieve rapid fat loss with carnivore diet recipes.

This custard is not suitable for strict carnivore dieters but keto carnivore recipes are great for those who can tolerate select plant foods. A pinch of plant-based sweetener and peppermint extract may not cause reactions for some people. If you prefer to use honey (and don’t mind the carbs) you may substitute it in an equal amount.

    I’ve never tried such a custard, but I love peppermint desserts! I might try your recipe with erythritol. Thanks for sharing!
