Number of Servings: 7

Ingredients

1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 cup Unsweetened almond milk

1/3 cup sugar equivalent of sucralose

2.5 oz. Cocoa Butter or Coconut oil

1 oz. Cocoa powder

2 tbsp salted butter

4 large Egg Yolk

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Tips

Serve cold. This is VERY rich stuff. Serve it in tiny dessert cups, topped with whipped cream. You can also chill in individual, small serving bowls and bring out when dessert comes. This recipe is for 7 servings, but due to the richness could easily be stretched to 14.

Directions

1. Heat the almond milk, cream, cocoa butter, cocoa powder and butter in a double boiler over medium low heat. Stir frequently.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sweeteners and vanilla together.
3. When the cream chocolate mixture is completely smooth, scoop about a half cup of the chocolate/cream mixture from the pan and stir it quickly into the yolk mixture to temper it.
4. Whisk the yolk mixture into the pan of chocolate cream.
5. Heat and stir slowly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from heat and stir slowly for about a minute to release the steam.
7. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate, uncovered for about 15 minutes.
8. Stir again, cover and finish chilling.

Serving Size: Makes 7 large servings.
