Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons banana extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Optional Toppings:
- Sugar-free whipped cream
- Crushed keto vanilla cookies
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, almond milk, sweetener, and egg yolks.
- Remove from heat and stir in banana extract, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum, whisking until smooth.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve topped with sugar-free whipped cream and crushed keto cookies if desired.
Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6–8 minutes; do not boil.
Pour pudding into serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Notes
- Xanthan gum helps thicken the pudding without adding carbs; you can omit it for a softer texture.
- Adjust banana extract to taste—start with 1 teaspoon and increase if a stronger flavor is desired.
- This pudding keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
