This sugar-free Keto Chocolate Pudding is a sweet, creamy, decadent treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings. It tastes just as delicious as traditional pudding, but without the carbs!

When you’re looking for a decadent treat that’s low in carbs and sugar, this keto chocolate pudding is the perfect way to satisfy any chocolate craving!

The recipe includes rich ingredients like heavy cream and cocoa powder. This gives us a final product that is creamy, smooth, and unbelievably delicious.

It tastes just like traditional pudding, but with a fraction of the carbs! 

It’s also a great treat to make in advance. Once made, this chocolate pudding will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can whip up a batch over the weekend and have this delicious dessert ready to enjoy any time you need a little something sweet.

The next time you want a keto-friendly dessert, this is one recipe you have to try.

How to make keto chocolate pudding

This recipe is super easy to prep, although it does need to chill in the refrigerator for several hours to fully set. I recommend making it in advance so it’s ready to enjoy whenever you want!

Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and gelatine powder, then set aside.

Step 2: In a pot over medium heat, add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Step 3: Allow to cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then remove from heat.

Step 4: Add the gelatine and cream to the pot.

Step 5: Mix the ingredients until well-combined and no lumps remain. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6: Pour the mixture into serving cups, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to chill for 4 – 6 hours or overnight.

After a few hours, your creamy chocolate pudding will be ready to enjoy! I recommend garnishing with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

Adjusting the flavor and sweetness

After you whisk in the gelatine and cream mixture, I recommend tasting the pudding to see if you want to add more sweetener. If the cocoa you use is very bitter, you can add an extra tablespoon of erythritol to balance the flavor. Feel free to adjust to your personal taste!

You can also add more or less cocoa powder depending on how chocolatey you want your pudding. If adding more cocoa powder, include another teaspoon or two of erythritol to counteract the bitterness.

Getting a smooth texture

For the best low-carb pudding possible, you want to make sure that the texture comes out velvety, thick, and creamy.

The best way to do this is to whisk the mixture until it is completely lump-free before you let it chill. As long as you whisk thoroughly at each step in the recipe, this shouldn’t be too hard. It’s especially important to whisk after adding the sifted cocoa powder, which has a tendency to clump.

This will give you a perfect, silky-smooth pudding.

Adding toppings to your pudding

I like to top my keto pudding with a little bit of homemade whipped cream and chocolate shavings. The contrast of the whipped cream and the chocolate is absolutely dreamy!

But feel free to play around with other toppings as well. I could see adding some sliced strawberries, maybe a little mint, or even some chopped nuts. All of these combinations would be delicious.

You can also enjoy your pudding as-is. It’s a wonderfully rich and decadent treat all on its own!

Storage

This recipe is great to make ahead of time so it’s ready to enjoy whenever your sweet tooth strikes.

Low carb pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. It will stay fresh and delicious that whole time!

I recommend storing the pudding in individual serving cups so you can easily grab one at a time.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is for 3 servings of chocolate pudding.
After mixing the gelatine and cream mixture into the rest of the pudding ingredients, I recommend tasting to see if you want to add more sweetener.
The key to a silky-smooth pudding texture is to make sure the mixture is totally lump-free before letting it chill. Make sure to whisk after each step, especially after adding the cocoa powder.
This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator and will stay fresh for up to a week. I recommend portioning into single servings so you can easily grab one any time.

      The gelatine is added to the hot mixture and won’t set right away. So if you do choose to eat it warm it will still be liquid. If you don’t mind that you might want to skip the gelatine step all together

    Hi. The texture was lovely but my pudding had a really bitter aftertaste. I have quite a sweet tooth so I increased the liquid stevia. Would that cause the bitterness? Thanks.

      That could be it. You could try with a mixture of sweeteners next time, maybe monk fruit and stevia
