Keto Vanilla Pudding

This recipes is for vanilla keto pudding. It's a smooth, creamy keto pudding that is bursting with vanilla flavor.

This sugar free pudding has the perfect level of sweetness and it's incredibly delicious on its own or served with Keto Whipped Cream.

This keto pudding stays good covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can double or triple the batch to feed a crowd or to prep dessert in advance.

You can use vanilla bean paste (my favorite) or vanilla extract to make this keto vanilla pudding.

Ingredients in Keto Pudding

Heavy whipping cream - This is an essential ingredient, so don't switch this out for half and half.

Powdered sugar free sweetener - Granulated sweetener works as well but for the best results use a powdered sweetener.

Egg yolks - gives the pudding it's creamy custard-like texture.

Vanilla bean paste or extract - for flavor.

Salt - helps enhance the other flavors.

Xanthan gum - acts as a thickening agent.

Switch up the flavors with different extracts like pumpkin spice extract or coconut extract for a fun twist.

How to make keto pudding:

1. Heat heavy whipping cream, sweetener, vanilla, salt and xanthan just until it starts to boil.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and let it site for a minute. Add the egg yolks and whisk them to combine.
3. Return the pan to the stove and set the heat to low/medium. Using a silicone spatula continually stir the mixture until it begins to thicken. The mixture is thick enough when it coats the spatula without dripping off.
4. Remove the pan from the heat. Pour pudding into serving cups or jars and cover and chill for 2 hours or until set.

Do I need to use xanthan gum to thicken keto pudding?

Xanthan gum helps thicken this keto pudding but if you don't want to use it you can leave it out and increase the egg yolks to 3 egg yolks.

Can I use dairy-free milk to make keto pudding?

I haven't personally tried using a dairy-free milk in this keto vanilla pudding recipe. If you decide to try it, start with a full fat coconut milk. Be sure to stop back by and let me know how it turned out.
