- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large egg yolks room temperature
- 2 tbsp lucuma powder smoked if available
- 1/4 cup erythritol or other granulated sugar substitute

Notes
Storage: Cover the custards tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The passion fruit drizzle can be stored separately in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Make-Ahead: The custards can be made up to 2 days in advance. Add the drizzle just before serving for the best texture. Variations: For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat canned coconut milk. You can also use a sugar-free maple syrup in place of erythritol for the drizzle. Serving Suggestion: Serve in elegant glassware to showcase the beautiful layers.
