Homemade Custard

This is another one of hubby's creations where he likes to just "wing it." The custard is made with egg yolks, heavy whipping cream, sugar/splenda, a pinch of salt and vanilla extract. However, it takes a while to make for such a small serving... :( Welp, at least the hubby likes it and it comes out pretty darn good.

1 whole egg and 4 egg yolks, scrambled. Continuously stirred in a double boiler over medium to high heat. Add a pinch of salt. 

Continue to stir until slightly thickened as shown above.

Slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Add in your sugar to desired sweetness. (We used about 2 tsp of splenda for a keto friendly version or 4 tsp of granulated white sugar). Add in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir, stir, stir until it's like super thick gravy.Then let it set in the fridge.

Comes out to be like pudding consistency, only it tastes like custard! :D Now we just need to figure out how to get rid of the lumps... maybe a hand blender or even a whisk? Btw, this is a 2 cup glass tupperware. And it took about a 1/2 hour of stirring to make this!!
