🛒 Ingredients

✓ 6 large pasture-raised egg yolks
✓ 1/2 cup heavy cream (for custard base)
✓ 1/4 cup whole milk
✓ 1 tbsp ghee
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp grass-fed beef gelatin (optional, for set texture)
✓ 3/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (0% added sugar)
✓ 2 tbsp mascarpone cheese
✓ 1 tbsp MCT oil
✓ 2 pasture-raised egg yolks (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Double Boiler: Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. This indirect heat prevents scrambled eggs.

2. Combine Yolks and Cream: Add 6 egg yolks to the heatproof bowl along with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup whole milk. Whisk constantly and gently for 2 minutes until fully incorporated and homogeneous.

3. Add Ghee and Salt: Melt 1 tbsp ghee separately, then slowly drizzle into the yolk mixture while whisking continuously. Add a pinch of sea salt and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract if desired. Continue whisking for 1 minute.

4. Cook Low and Slow: Maintain a gentle simmer in the water bath. Whisk constantly for 12–15 minutes until the custard coats the back of a spoon and reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Do not rush or overheat.

5. Strain for Silk Texture: Pour the hot custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any unintended lumps or bits. Stir in optional grass-fed gelatin if you prefer a firmer set; omit for silky pourable custard.

6. Chill Custard Base: Place the custard in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can serve it warm (rustic style) or chilled for a mousse-like texture. For best results, chill 2 hours.

7. Prepare Greek Yogurt Topping: Whisk together 3/4 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tbsp mascarpone in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Drizzle in 1 tbsp MCT oil while whisking. Taste and adjust thickness.

8. Plate and Garnish: Divide chilled custard between two bowls or elegant glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of the Greek yogurt mixture. Finish with a single fresh egg yolk (optional) or a sprinkle of sea salt for contrast.
