You're going to love this recipe because:

- With few ingredients
- A healthier and low-sugar option
- This option is protein-rich if you use the ingredients I used
For this recipe you need:
- Egg yolks
- Skimmed milk (I used + Proteínas from Mercadona)
- Cinnamon stick
- Lemon peel
- Cornstarch
- Stevia
- Agave syrup
Which milk to use?
I used Mercadona + Proteínas because it has more protein and makes the recipe more protein-rich, besides being skimmed milk. However, you can use a plant-based drink or another milk, but it will change the nutritional information.
Can I substitute cornstarch?
You can use rice flour double the amount of cornstarch. Tapioca also double the amount. Potato starch, the same amount.
Why use stevia and agave syrup?
I used stevia to drastically reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe and used a little agave syrup to give a more pleasant sweet taste.
