How to Make Keto Pumpkin Pudding: Step-by-Step Guide
Cooking methods
Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, erythritol, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, whisking continuously until hot but not boiling.
Cooking Instructions
- Temper the Egg Yolks: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir continuously over low heat for about 5-7 minutes until the pudding thickens.
- Add Gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Chill the Pudding: Pour the mixture into ramekins or stemless champagne glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
How to make it healthier
For a lower-calorie version, reduce the amount of erythritol or use a keto-friendly sweetener like Monk Fruit or Golden Monkfruit Sweetener. You can also substitute heavy whipping cream with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk for fewer calories and a lighter texture.
