How to Make Low Carb Custard Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil!
  4. Remove from heat and immediately strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg whites.
  5. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. This adds richness and shine.
  6. Let the custard cool slightly before serving. If the sauce thickens too much as it cools, you can stir in a teaspoon of heavy cream to thin it out.
  7. Serve warm or cold over your favorite dessert. Enjoy!
