This decadent keto pudding requires no cooking - just briefly heating the ingredients. It's incredibly rich and creamy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk full-fat, unsweetened; see notes below
  • 3 ½ oz extra-dark chocolate broken into pieces; I use Lindt 90%
  • ¼ cup powdered sweetener  or the stevia equivalent - I use 1 teaspoon of stevia glycerite

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium pot, heat the coconut milk, chocolate pieces, and sweetener over medium heat, stirring until the chocolate is melted. This should take 1-2 minutes.
  2. Turn the heat off and whisk the mixture with a hand whisk until very smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into a spouted measuring cup, then pour it into five 4-ounce ramekins or dessert cups.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and preferably overnight, before serving. If desired, top with keto whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Instead of the stovetop, you can place the ingredients in a microwave-safe container, cover them, and heat them in the microwave. Do so carefully and patiently, in 30-second sessions, until the chocolate melts. The number of sessions you'll need will depend on your microwave.
  • Make sure the coconut milk is well-blended. It's easier to blend it if you pour it out of the can into a mixing bowl and whisk it with a hand whisk.
  • Please use full-fat coconut milk. With so few ingredients, each of them counts, and reduced-fat coconut milk isn't thick and creamy enough. It also doesn't taste very good, in my opinion.
  • Boxed or bottled coconut milk won't work. Only canned, full-fat coconut milk like this one will work in this recipe. 
  • Two hours is the bare minimum to chill this pudding. Four hours is better, and overnight is best. The pudding's consistency greatly improves after a night in the fridge. It becomes thicker and silkier.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Remove them from the fridge 30 minutes before serving them - chocolate is always better at room temperature. I don't recommend freezing this pudding.
