Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 cup Granular erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally and heat the mixture until it is just warming up, being careful not to let it boil.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granular erythritol, and salt together until the mixture is well combined and slightly pale.
Slowly pour about 1/4 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking consistently to temper the eggs and prevent them from cooking.
Gradually add the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth texture.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Let the sauce cool slightly, then transfer it to a bowl or a sealable container. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the vanilla sauce for at least 1 hour before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it chills.
Serve chilled over your favorite low-carb desserts or fresh berries. Enjoy!
