Moroccan Keto Brunch Sweet: Spiced Berry Custard Parfaits

Allergens

Eggs, Dairy (Milk)

Ingredients

• 1. Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) 2. 2 cups heavy whipping cream 3. 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or other keto
• friendly sweetener 4. 1 tsp ground cinnamon 5. 1/4 tsp ground ginger 6. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 7. 1/4 tsp ground cloves 8. 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 9. 4 large egg yolks

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, sweetener, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract.
3. Slowly pour half of the hot cream mixture into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
4. Return the combined mixtures to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and strain the custard into a clean bowl. Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6. To assemble the parfaits, divide half of the chilled custard among two glasses or jars, followed by a layer of fresh mixed berries. Repeat with the remaining custard and berries to create a beautiful parfait stack.

Chef’s Insight

1. The balance of spices in the custard perfectly complements the sweetness and tartness of the berries, creating an unforgettable dessert experience.

Notes

1. Use ripe, fresh berries for the best flavor and texture. 2. To speed up the chilling process, place the custard in an ice bath after straining.
