Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
1. Create a Smooth Base
Whisk yogurt and eggs thoroughly until silky and lump-free.
Tip: A smooth mixture ensures an even, custard-like texture.
2. Build Flavor (Optional)
Add vanilla, sweetener, almond flour, and baking powder if using.
Tip: Almond flour gives structure without making it heavy.
3. Add Blueberries
Fold them in gently to keep them intact.
Tip: Whole berries give better texture than crushed ones.
4. Prepare for Baking
Transfer to your dish, smooth the top, and add a few berries on top.
Tip: A light erythritol sprinkle helps create a golden finish.
5. Bake
Bake until set in the center with a slight jiggle.
Tip: Overbaking can make it rubbery—watch closely after 35 minutes.
6. Cool & Set
Let it rest before cutting.
Tip: This step transforms it from soft to perfectly sliceable.
7. Finish
Add a yogurt drizzle while warm for extra creaminess.
