- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large egg yolks

Instructions
Place the cauliflower rice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes to remove excess moisture, stirring occasionally.
Add the almond milk, heavy cream, erythritol, ground cinnamon, salt, and lemon zest to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 15 minutes until thickened.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract together.
Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot cauliflower mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens further, being careful not to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Let the low-carb arroz con leche cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, and enjoy your creamy, low-carb dessert!
