Can You Use Eggbeaters to Make Custard?

Can you use Eggbeaters egg substitute instead of eggs to make custard?  I'm wondering if it will set properly. thanks, Jean

I'm a little fat phobic in my recipes so I always sub. egg beaters and have used it many times in custards with no trouble.  They set softly, maybe with whole eggs they'd be firmer.  Doesn't bother me...I've even made custards with Soy Slender soymilk and eggbeaters.   Hmm...maybe I'd better dig out my cafe custard recipe from Susan Maria's site.  Your post gave me a craving!  :) Molly

Yes, you can use egg beaters or the generic version to make a delicious custard.  The trick is to bake in a water bath at 325 till set. I use a can of skim evaported milk, 3/4 cup egg beaters, 1/4 c. Splenda for baking and a pinch of salt.  Blend together and bake in custard cups sprayed with pam and sprinkled with nutmeg if you like. Place each custard cup into a large baking pan filled 1/2 way up with boiling water and bake as follows:  Fill the baking pan with boiling water after placing the filled custard cups and while it is in the oven on the baking rack, then carefully slide in the rack and bake.  I heat my water in a tea pot to avoid getting any in the custard cups when I fill the pan.  It sounds like a lot of work, but it's not trust me.  And oh, so worth it. Enjoy.
