🧐 Why Choose Keto Chocolate Pudding?
🩸 Blood Sugar Benefits
Traditional pudding uses sugar, which spikes insulin. Our version swaps sugar for:
- Allulose (tastes like sugar, 0g net carbs)
- Monk fruit (natural, no bitter aftertaste)
📊 Study Fact: Low-carb diets can improve blood sugar control by 30%.
🥑 Healthy Fats Keep You Full
Each serving packs 14g of fat from heavy cream and egg yolks. Fats help you feel full longer—no post-dessert hunger!
🛒 Ingredients & Tools
📋 What You'll Need
Ingredient | Why It's Great |
---|---|
Heavy cream | Makes pudding creamy |
Cocoa powder | Rich chocolate flavor (use Dutch-process for extra smoothness!) |
Egg yolks | Thickens naturally |
Allulose | Dissolves like sugar |
Vanilla extract | Balances bitterness |
Don't Have Allulose? Try powdered erythritol (use 25% less—it's sweeter!).
🔧 Tools
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk ($10 on Amazon)
- 4 ramekins or mugs
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Base
Combine in a saucepan:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup allulose
Whisk until smooth—no lumps!
2️⃣ Temper the Eggs
👉 New to tempering? Slowly pour 1/2 cup of the hot mix into 2 egg yolks while whisking. This prevents scrambled eggs!
3️⃣ Thicken the Pudding
Cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir constantly! It's done when it coats the back of a spoon.
4️⃣ Chill & Serve
Pour into cups and refrigerate for 1 hour. Top with sugar-free whipped cream!
