Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 3 Egg yolks
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the Swerve brown sugar replacement and stir until dissolved.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, but make sure it does not come to a boil.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the xanthan gum and egg yolks together until smooth.
Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
Return the tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium-low heat. Continue whisking and cook the pudding until it thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the pudding from the heat. Let it cool slightly before transferring to individual serving dishes.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set completely.
