Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol sweetener
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa, sugar-free)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the mixture is heating, in a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks until smooth.
Step 4
Once the milk mixture is simmering, pour a small amount into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
Step 5
Slowly add the tempered egg yolks back to the saucepan with the milk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, continuing to cook the custard while stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and dark chocolate until the chocolate is melted and the custard is smooth.
Step 8
Strain the custard through a fine sieve to ensure it is completely smooth, discarding any solids that remain.
Step 9
Divide the custard into individual serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 10
Serve cold, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa or a few fresh berries.
