Recipe Notes

  • Confectioners Swerve: If you don't have Swerve Confectioners (or another brand of powdered erythritol) on hand, you can make your own using Swerve Granular! Simply pulse the granulated erythritol in a food processor until it reaches the consistency of powdered erythritol.
  • Storage: To avoid a film, keep the pudding covered tightly with plastic wrap at all times, except when you're serving it. The plastic wrap should touch the surface of the chocolate pudding.
