Follow my tips here below to get the best low carb chocolate pudding: You can use 2 cups of heavy cream instead of 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of almond milk, but it will change the nutrition facts and will add more calories. Use a powdered sweetener, NOT a granulated one.
If you’d like to use a lower carb thickener, you can use xanthan gum. However, you will need to use different amounts. Start with 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, and whisk into the milk mixture. If the mixture remains relatively thin, add an extra teaspoon, but no more. Once you’ve added in the chocolate and that has melted, see if it has thickened up.
To prevent the powder particles from clumping, mix it with neutral oil or add it slowly and whisk quickly to incorporate it. What can you make with Xanthan Gum? You can use Xanthan gum to thicken soups and sauces or hold together ingredients when baking cakes.
Enjoy homemade vanilla pudding like grandma used to make! This easy comfort-food recipe is sugar-free and perfect for any low carb and ketogenic diet. Bring the heavy cream and almond milk to a simmer in a small pot over medium heat. Place the dry ingredients (erythritol, cornstarch, and salt) into a medium heat proof bowl and whisk together.
