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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granular erythritol, and salt together until the mixture is well combined and slightly pale.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Gradually add the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth texture.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Refrigerate the vanilla sauce for at least 1 hour before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it chills.

Step 9

Serve chilled over your favorite low-carb desserts or fresh berries. Enjoy!
