Light & Fluffy Baked Egg Custard

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Whisk: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
2. Heat Milk Mixture: In a saucepan, gently heat milk, vanilla extract, sweetener, and half the cinnamon until simmering.
3. Combine & Strain: Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the whisked eggs, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring jug.
4. Add Flavor & Bake: Stir in orange juice and most of the zest. Divide the custard evenly among 4 ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set.
5. Chill & Serve: Let the custard cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. Garnish with remaining cinnamon and orange zest. Serve chilled with mixed berries.
