In a medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolks with the sweetener until white, put close to you. In a saucepan, heat the cream, vanilla and salt to boiling point. Add a quarter of your hot cream, drizzled and whisking, to the bowl of egg yolks and transfer everything to the saucepan, whisking vigorously until it thickens. Remove from the heat and add your butter cubes, mixing until well melted.
