Ingredients

• 2 cups coconut milk
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 0.125 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.

Step 2

While the coconut milk mixture is warming, whisk the egg yolks, arrowroot powder, and sea salt together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Once the coconut milk is warm, slowly pour a small amount into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

Step 4

Gradually add the rest of the coconut milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure smooth blending.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-resistant spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 6

Continue to cook the custard until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon, which should take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Once the desired thickness is achieved, remove the custard from heat. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or bits of cooked egg.

Step 8

Cover the custard with plastic wrap directly on its surface to prevent a skin from forming. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating until chilled, about 2 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo custard cream chilled, either on its own or with fresh berries for a delightful dessert.
