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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until smooth and well blended.
Step 3
Slowly pour about 1/4 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 4
Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a silky smooth consistency.
Step 8
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.
