Ingredients

0.25
0 1/4 cup whipped fat-free topping 0.25
0 1/4 cup cold water 0.5
0 1/2 cup low fat vanilla soy milk 1.0
1 pinch salt 4.0
4 tbsp sweetener (sugar substitute) 2.0
2 tsp vanilla extract 2.0
2 each raw egg yolks 5.0
5 tbsp tahini 1.0
1 pinch fresh lemon juice 1.0
1 tbsp ground almonds

Directions

In a saucepan over low heat, combine whipped topping, soy milk or regular milk, water, salt, sugar substitute and vanilla and/or vanilla stick (halved). Remove before it boils.
In a bowl with a wire whisk, beat the egg yolks. Slowly add half the milk mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly, and pour the mixture back into the pot with the remaining milk.
Remove vanilla sticks and add tahini, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly. Add lemon juice. Mix until it becomes a smooth, thick syrup. It will thicken more as it stands and cools. Use as desired.
Garnish: roasted almonds, coarsely ground (1/2 tablespoon per serving)
