This custard was developed for the Portfolio Eating Plan, which creates recipes designed for lowering cholesterol. 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup sugar (or use Splenda)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 red tea bags (or 3 teaspoons loose red tea in a tea strainer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel (orange part only)
  • 1 cup finely diced mango
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Bring almond milk to a boil; steep tea in the milk 4 to 5 minutes or until a desired tea flavor is reached.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, whites, sugar and salt in a medium bowl until blended.
  • Very gradually whisk hot tea and milk mixture into egg mixture and stir until sugar is dissolved. If lumps appear, strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl or pitcher.
  • Stir in orange zest.
  • Divide mixture between 6 ramekins or tea cups and bake in a water bath until set but still a bit jiggly when shaken, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Let cool, then wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Top with chopped mango, or, garnish with almonds (shown).
