- Topping (optional):
- 6 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup fresh Ricotta Cheese (I used Whole Milk Ricotta)
- 1 large Egg, plus 1 large Egg White
- 1 Tablespoon SF Torani Syrup (I used SF Caramel)
- 1/8 cup Vanilla Soy Milk
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Dutch Processed Cocoa (I used Droste brand)
- 2 Tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
- 10 Sugar Free Caramels
- 1 T of Vanilla Soy Milk
- 15 whole toasted Pecans, chopped
- 10 Sugar Free Chocolate baking discs (or wedges of a bar), melted
- Yep there is booze in this dessert but after cooking only about 25% of the 2 Tablespoons worth of alcohol is retained so I don't think anyone will be catching a buzz off these custards but if it's an issue try one of my other flavors
