Description
A delicious and creamy Christmas Vanilla Bean Keto Crema topped with fresh berries, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, almond milk, powdered erythritol, vanilla bean seeds (and pod), ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Once warm, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard it.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, allow the mixture to cool completely before blending to avoid splattering.
- Pour the crema into a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken.
- To serve, pour the chilled crema into glasses or bowls and top with mixed berries. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture before blending.
- Substitute the mixed berries with other low-carb fruits like blackberries or sliced strawberries for different flavor profiles.
