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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the Swerve brown sugar replacement and stir until dissolved.
Step 2
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to combine.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, but make sure it does not come to a boil.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk the xanthan gum and egg yolks together until smooth.
Step 6
Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
Step 7
Return the tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Step 8
Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium-low heat. Continue whisking and cook the pudding until it thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 9
Once thickened, remove the pudding from the heat. Let it cool slightly before transferring to individual serving dishes.
Step 10
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set completely.
