Preparation

Step 1

1 Add 1 inch of water to a shallow roasting pan to make a water bath. Place on the center rack of oven and preheat to 350°F.

2 Spray six small custard cups or 6-ounce ramekins with cooking oil spray.

3 Add the eggs to a mixing bowl and beat with a wire whisk until frothy. Add all the remaining ingredients and beat until well combined.

4 Pour equal amounts of the mix into each of the 6 prepared cups and place into the preheated water bath. Bake for about 45 minutes, until firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5 Cool on the counter for 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 3 additional hours. Serve cold, topped with sugar-free whipped cream and lemon zest, if desired.
