Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened soy milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons Splenda
  • –3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Cornstarch adds a small number of carbs — see notes below
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 3 tablespoons Splenda, and cornstarch until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the soy milk to a saucepan over medium-low heat and warm until steaming (not boiling).
  3. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, for 5–7 minutes until thick, silky, and pudding-like.
