Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter.
Add the erythritol and a pinch of sea salt to the cream and butter mixture. Stir the mixture well until the butter is completely melted and the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
Slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This will gently heat the yolks to prevent them from scrambling.
Once tempered, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring continuously over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and xanthan gum. Continue stirring until the xanthan gum is completely incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Serve warm or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
