Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash eggs gently in warm, soapy water and then dry.  

  2. Separate egg whites from yolks and set whites aside. In a medium-sized bowl, add the honey to the egg yolks and whip with a whisk until the mixture thickens and the color lightens to a pale yellow.

  3. Serve immediately with fruit or nuts or add to recipe of choice in place of cream.

  4. Refrigerate leftovers, which will last several days in a glass bowl with a tight-fitting lid.

Recipe Notes

If keto or ultra low carb, reduce or substitute the honey with a few drops of stevia extract or a pinch of monkfruit.
