Hot Chocolate Custard
 
 
THM Deep S, low carb, gluten free, dairy free (do not top with butter) | For a nut-free version, use carton coconut milk in place of the almond milk. Most people with tree nut allergies can have coconut products, but check with your doctor first to make sure.

Instructions
  1. Whisk the eggs in a small saucepan. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk again. (Don't worry - the coconut oil will melt eventually.) Add the glucomannan while whisking so it doesn't clump. Heat the custard on high heat until it's just starting to bubble, whisking often. When the custard starts to bubble, turn the burner off, pull the custard off the stove, and whisk it continuously. Once the burner has cooled off a bit, put the pan back on the burner and keep whisking until the custard thickens. Pull the custard off the burner a little bit before you think it's done so the custard doesn't get too hot and curdle. This is my lazy woman's way of avoiding tempering eggs to make a nice smooth custard and it usually works. Just keep whisking and when in doubt, use less heat.
  2. Top the custard with a teaspoon of butter and additional Super Sweet Blend. Enjoy!
Notes
I used an electric burner stove when creating this recipe. On a gas stove, use a lower heat all the way around, and once the custard starts to bubble, turn the burner down as far as it will go (but don't turn it off).
