Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving dishes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • ⅓ cup erythritol
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • salt a pinch

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, erythritol, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly to ensure the erythritol dissolves and the cocoa mixes in thoroughly.
  • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk vigorously to prevent any clumps from forming.
  • Continue to cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pudding starts to thicken to your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the pudding into serving dishes and let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, place the dishes in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 1 hour.
  • Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate, if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream.
If erythritol isn't to your taste, you can use another keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener; adjust the amount to your sweetness preference.
Ensure the pudding is completely chilled before serving to achieve the best texture.
This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
