Creamy Banana Bliss Pops

1. Heat Cream and Milk

Start by combining the heavy cream and almond or coconut milk in a medium saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, which you will notice by small bubbles forming around the edges.

2. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sweetener

While the cream and milk are heating, whisk together the egg yolks, powdered erythritol sweetener, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.

3. Temper the Egg Yolks

Once the cream mixture is simmering, slowly pour half of the hot cream into the yolk mixture while continuously whisking.

4. Cook Custard Mixture

Pour the yolk-cream mixture back into the saucepan. Cook this mixture over medium heat, whisking continuously for about 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

5. Add Butter and Banana Extract

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the unsalted butter and banana extract. Stir until the butter is fully melted and well incorporated.

6. Freeze the Pops

Divide the custard mixture evenly among 8 ice pop molds. Freeze for 1 hour, then insert sticks and return to the freezer for at least 4 more hours until fully frozen.

7. Serve

When ready to enjoy, briefly run the molds under hot water to loosen the pops. Savor the smooth, creamy texture and rich banana flavor in every bite.
