Ingredients

• 500 ml Whole milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 60 g Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 0.5 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 2

While the milk is heating, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar substitute, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Once the milk is hot, slowly pour about a third of it into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 4

Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining milk in the saucepan.

Step 5

Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits for a smoother texture.

Step 8

Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
