Budyń is a classic, comforting Polish milk pudding, a genuine everyday dessert found in nearly every household. This version uses a keto-friendly thickener and full-fat cream in place of the traditional starch and milk base.

Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
