Keto Chocolate Pudding

This heavenly keto chocolate pudding is the perfect sugar-free dessert for anyone counting carbs or monitoring their glucose levels. It’s easy to whip up and only needs a few ingredients – a rich, luxurious keto chocolate dessert your whole family will love!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

• Chocolate pudding is a classic childhood treat. This sugar-free version is just as good flavor-wise, but it’s nutritionally better. With only 3g net carbs per serving, it’s a perfect low carb chocolate pudding for anyone watching their macros.
• The opposite of our light and airy keto chocolate mousse, this pudding is thick, rich, and creamy. It’s a keto chocolate pudding recipe, but one which the whole family will love!
• If stored properly, this pudding will keep for 5 to 7 days, which means it’s a great make ahead dessert option! Keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container, with a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding.

Chef’s Tips

• This keto chocolate pudding is rich and delicious enough to be eaten on its own, but for a decadent treat, top it with our Keto Whipped Cream made from powdered erythritol.
• Covering the bowl with plastic wrap will prevent the mixture from “sweating” and forming a film (or “skin”, gross) on top of the pudding as it chills. Be sure the plastic wrap is pressed against the top of the pudding, with zero space or air in between.
• Freeze your leftover low carb pudding in an airtight container for an incredible ice-cream-like dessert. Frozen sugar-free pudding will last 1 to 2 months!
• Don’t be tempted to skip the xanthan gum. It’s a low carb thickening agent, and it’s what helps your chocolate mixture reach the right consistency. Without the xanthan gum, you’ll end up with chocolate soup, which might not be a bad problem to have, but it’s no chocolate pudding.
• Swerve is our go-to sugar substitute. If you’ve followed our keto recipes for literally any amount of time, you know we LOVE Swerve here at Easy Healthy Recipes. Swerve is a non-GMO, non-glycemic, zero-calorie, preservative-free sugar substitute that has no effect on blood glucose levels. It’s perfect for keto dieters or anyone who needs to watch their insulin levels.

Notes

Cover the pudding: Covering the bowl with plastic wrap will prevent the mixture from “sweating” and forming a film (or “skin”, gross) on top of the pudding as it chills. Be sure the plastic wrap is pressed against the top of the pudding, with zero space or air in between.

Two desserts in one: Freeze your leftover low carb pudding in an airtight container for an incredible ice-cream-like dessert. Frozen sugar-free pudding will last 1 to 2 months!

Low carb thickener: Don’t be tempted to skip the xanthan gum. It’s a low carb thickening agent, and it’s what helps your chocolate mixture reach the right consistency. Without the xanthan gum, you’ll end up with chocolate soup, which might not be a bad problem to have, but it’s no chocolate pudding.

Sugar substitute: Swerve is our go-to sugar substitute. If you’ve followed our keto recipes for literally any amount of time, you know we LOVE Swerve here at Easy Healthy Recipes. Swerve is a non-GMO, non-glycemic, zero-calorie, preservative-free sugar substitute that has no effect on blood glucose levels. It’s perfect for keto dieters or anyone who needs to watch their insulin levels.
