Description
Keto chocolate pudding delivers a silky, low-carb dessert that satisfies sweet cravings without guilt. Rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture make this treat a delightful alternative for health-conscious diners seeking indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) granulated stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 2 tsps (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsps (7.5 ml) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Fusion Preparation: Combine heavy cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat, creating a harmonious base for the keto pudding while whisking gently to integrate ingredients smoothly.
- Temperature Control: Continue stirring the mixture until tiny bubbles emerge around the edges, signaling the perfect warming point, then carefully sprinkle gelatin powder across the surface, whisking vigorously to ensure complete dissolution without forming lumps.
- Setting Process: Maintain a delicate heating temperature to prevent boiling, then pour the silky liquid into serving containers, pressing plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent skin formation during chilling.
- Final Transformation: Refrigerate for at least two hours, allowing the gelatin to set and transform the mixture into a luxurious, creamy dessert with an indulgent texture, then garnish with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Texture: Sift cocoa powder and sweetener before mixing to eliminate potential clumps and ensure a smooth, silky pudding consistency.
- Control Gelatin Activation: Sprinkle gelatin gradually and whisk continuously to prevent uneven setting and maintain a uniform texture throughout the dessert.
- Manage Heat Carefully: Keep temperature consistently low to prevent scorching and preserve the delicate flavor profile of the keto pudding.
- Customize Flavor Variations: Experiment with sugar-free extracts like almond or mint to create unique taste experiences while maintaining the low-carb keto-friendly foundation.
