Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and pale in color.

Step 3

Once the cream mixture is hot, slowly add it to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 4

Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, ensuring it doesn't come to a boil.

Step 5

Cook the custard until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Do not let it boil, as this will cause the custard to curdle.

Step 6

To check the thickness, run your finger down the back of the spoon; if the line remains clear, the custard is ready.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 8

Allow the custard to cool slightly, then transfer it to a storage container. Cover the surface of the custard directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. The custard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
