Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place coconut milk, cinnamon stick (cut in half), and lemon zest in a saucepan, and bring to the boil.

  • With an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and powdered erythritol until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and fluffy.

  • When the coconut milk mixture has been sitting for an hour, bring it back to the boil. Next, pour it though a sieve into a bowl.

  • First, add only 2 tbsp. of the warm coconut mixture to the eggs and stir to incorporate. Then, add the rest of the coconut mixture and mix.

  • Return the mixture to the saucepan on low heat. This step will require patience. Keep the heat low, stir occasionally until the mixture gets thick and coats the back of a spatula or a wooden spoon. This might take even 10 minutes. Do not turn the heat up as you will likely cook the eggs, and make a lumpy custard.

  • Pour into ramekins. When cooled, place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
  • Before serving, sprinkle 1 tbsp. of erythritol over each Crema Catalana, making sure that the whole surface is covered. Using a blowtorch, try to caramelise the erythritol. This will not be as successful as when using ordinary sugar, but erythritol still does a fine job.

  • Optional: You can make Crema Catalana ice cream by simply placing the ramekins into a freezer. Stir the custard every now and then, so it does not crystallize too much. You can still top the frozen ones with “caramelised” erythritol before serving.
