Instructions
1
Heat 20g sugar in a dry pan over medium heat until it melts to a deep amber caramel, then quickly divide between 2 ramekins (180ml each), swirling to coat the base.
2
In a saucepan, warm the whole milk with cinnamon until just steaming, then remove from heat.
3
In a bowl, whisk the whole egg, egg white, whey protein concentrate, sifted cocoa powder, monk fruit extract and salt until smooth with no lumps.
4
Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs without scrambling them.
5
Stir in the vanilla extract, then strain the custard through a sieve into the caramel-lined ramekins to remove any egg strands.
6
Place the ramekins in a deep baking tray and pour hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
7
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 32-35 minutes until the custards are just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
8
Remove ramekins from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9
Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a small plate, letting the caramel sauce pool around the custard before serving.
