Ingredients

• 2 cups Milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1/4 cup Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar substitute, and salt until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm milk to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yolks and prevent them from curdling.

Step 4

Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Ensure that you scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent the custard from sticking or curdling.

Step 5

Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. It should reach a temperature of about 170°F (77°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

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 clean bowl to remove any bits of cooked egg.

Step 8

Allow the custard sauce to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate it until cold or for at least 2 hours before serving.
