Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan combine almond milk, water, and erythritol; heat over medium until just simmering, stirring to dissolve the sweetener.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl whisk egg yolks with cornstarch until smooth.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  4. 4

    Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens (about 5‑7 minutes).

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, stir in cardamom and vanilla extract.

  6. 6

    Divide the custard into two serving bowls, smooth the tops, and chill for at least 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on each portion.

*Pro Tips

  • 1

    Use a low‑glycemic sweetener like erythritol or stevia to keep the glycemic load low.

  • 2

    Ensure continuous stirring to prevent lumps and curdling of the custard.
