• Heavy cream - 240 ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Erythritol - 50 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and erythritol, and blend until smooth.
3. Add the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to the bowl, and blend until completely smooth and well combined.

5. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
