method

    Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4. Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl until frothy.
    In a pan, heat the milk, vanilla, sweetener and half the cinnamon until nearly boiling, then pour into the eggs in a slow drizzle, whisking continuously.

    Leave to cool, then chill for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon and zest. Serve with mixed berries.
