Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Granular erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute)
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until smooth and well blended.
Slowly pour about 1/4 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the custard, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a silky smooth consistency.
Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve drizzled over low-carb desserts or enjoy it as a standalone treat.
