Ingredients
Red Berry Compote
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries not strawberries
- 1/4 teaspoon glucomann powder
- pinch of salt
- generous pinch of monk fruit or liquid sweetener to taste
- splash of vanilla extract
- lemon juice to taste, optional
Custard Sauce
- 3 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit granulated
- pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup cream or coconut cream, if dairy-free
- 1/3 cup coconut beverage or almond
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
For the Berry Compote
- Combine berries and glucomann in a glass bowl and stir to distribute evenly. Microwave for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, stir and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each one until desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in lemon and vanilla, if using and refrigerate or use warm. Will keep one week refrigerated.
For the Vanilla Custard Sauce
- Whisk together egg yolks, monk fruit, and salt.
- Heat cream and beverage until simmering.
- Temper egg yolk mix and then transfer back to pan and heat over low, whisking constantly until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Pour through a strainer and into a serving dish to remove any egg bits and set aside to cool.
Notes
You can also cook this on the stovetop, simmering to desired thickness. Off heat add the lemon and vanilla, if using.
