LOW CARB CUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• NOTES:.
• * Instead of the cream and milk you can use all milk(1 cup).
• ** Artificial sweetener equal to sweetness of 2 tsp sugar.
• Heat the milk or milk and cream until scalding - if it's steaming, it's probably there. You should see very tiny bubbles only at the very outside edges of the liquid.
• Remove from heat.
• Add the vanilla, sweetener, and salt to the milk.
• Beat the egg yolks.
• Add a little of the milk to the eggs and mix well (this is called "tempering" the eggs so they don't cook).
• Repeat, adding a little more milk so you gradually bring the eggs up to temperature. Then add all the rest of the milk mix.
• Put a small amount of water in the bottom of a double boiler or a pot on which you can put a bowl. Heat. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
• Add milk/egg mixture and stir or whisk over hot/boiling water until mixture begins to thicken, then remove from heat and stir until it coats a metal spoon.
• Refrigerate.
