Stevia recipe

Lemon Custard Pie


4 egg yolks

¼ cup cornstarch

2 cups buttermilk

¾ cup lemon juice

scant ¼ teaspoon stevia powder

9-inch pre-baked pie crust


Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch together in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the buttermilk, lemon juice, and stevia and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart pot and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Once the mixture thickens, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for another two minutes. The custard should be bubbling lightly at this point.

Pour the filling mixture into the crust and refrigerate for one to two hours before serving.
