Directions

  • 1.

    Whisk in the Truvia Original Sweetener.

  • 4.

    Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Whisk frequently until the milk is slightly hot and the gelatin has melted. Do not bring the mixture to a boil.

  • 5.

    Remove the pot from the heat. Whisk in the buttermilk.

  • 6.

    Pour the custard mixture into 4 small ramekins; about 3–4 oz. in size each.

    If fresh raspberries and blueberries are not available, or in season, you can substitute more strawberries. Prepare the berries right before serving. Gently rinse berries, and quarter the strawberries. Place the berries into a bowl.
