Pudding is so versatile in creating delicious desserts so I wanted a good keto version I could eat or use in other recipes that wasn't full of nasty ingredients. Plus this pudding is super low carb so a delicious guilt free dessert!
This looks awesome and we can't wait to try it! But you said that if you didn't want to use arrowroot powder you could use the cornstarch. If you use cornstarch then it's not keto.
@@staciajahnke3548 thanks, glad you are looking forward to trying it!! I said that for the people that are just low carb or lazy keto whom eat anything as long as it fits in their Macros, there are many ways to do keto. Alot of people eat keto products with gluten in the which is technically not keto, to each their own I say! Cornstarch and arrowroot powder have the same amount of carbs per tablespoon. And you need less cornstarch to thicken than arrowroot.
Tried using sugar free Jello pudding mixes but upset my vision, contains Maltodextrin, bad for type 2 diabetics. Just created a single serving instant "Ready to Eat" pudding, 1 scoop vanilla flavored Protein powder, 3 packets Stevia, 2 TBSP unsweetened Cocoa powder, 3 heaping large spoons of sugar free vanilla yogurt, stir, ready to eat.
I made this today, and it is so amazing! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was scared to make it at first, but it was so easy, I ended up making it twice! LoL ❤ I don’t know if you have this in the US or not, but in Canada we have Lactantia lactose free 35% whipping cream, & it cworked great. If you don’t have it in the US, maybe you can buy it on Amazon? The carton says zero carbs, and my carb manager app agrees! So you can use as much as you want if all you’re watching is carbs (calories & fat content are high). On keto though, it’s perfect. My carb manager app says 1.9g of carbs per 4oz bowl of pudding when I use the Lactantia . 😮❤ I hope you’re able to get it, if not I’ll send you some! 😂😅
Unfortunately heavy cream is one of those hidden carbs. It can say on a package 0 carbs as long as the carbs are below 1 for a serving which is usually a small amount but when you add a bunch of servings it will add up, even lactose free. That specific brand actually has dextrose on the ingredient list which is sugar. But it's still pretty low carb recipe anyways, just don't want you to unknowingly go over your carbs cause of my recipe! Happy pudding making!
I love this… my sister is vegetarian…. So the gelatin won’t work for her… I will look up what might be a substitute for the gelatin… THANK YOU… I gotta have my chocolate…. Wonder about coconut cream with this…. 🤔❤
I didn't have xantan gum, so I added a little bit more of gelatin (second recipe) and it didn't set. :D But I had a very nice and thick cold chocolate!
Yeah the xanthan gum adds a lot of thickening to the pudding, the gelatin just cuts down on the weird texture xanthan gum can give in too high of amounts. Walmart had xanthan gum now in the baking aisle for only 4 dollars and it will last you for awhile, even lasts a few months for me and I put it in everything.
I find mine on amazon and don't see why you couldn't get it, it's not like allulose that maybe isn't approved yet. I haven't seen it in any stores though. You could used some heavy cream in place of the alternative milk, it will just be a little higher in carbs.
Hi, I love these recipes. But, I made the pudding that was done on the stove. I followed the recipe to the letter (two times) both times it didn’t thicken much or firm up like pudding should. should I just add more gelatin?
Was making my fondant recipe with a different beef gelatin and realized it wasn't as thick and gelatinized when I melted it. So gelatins do seem to have different stregths of gelling so you may need to add more gelatin.
I posted a few days ago about your pudding…my comment seems to have been deleted, but I wanted to come back to update it. I made the instant pudding (because I am lazy) a few days ago. I used Ghirardelli cocoa, and the flavor was delicious. When I posted before, I thought the pudding was not going to set, but in the end it did after 24 hours, although it was a bit soft. The texture was still creamy, though, and my husband and I enjoyed it. Part of what happened, I think, is that I was interrupted while making it and my gelatin jelled up pretty well. I stirred vigorously to work it through, but that may have resulted in its not jelling up quickly. I used grass fed beef gelatin. If I were, say, to increase the gelatin by 1 teaspoons, would I need to use more water than what the recipe currently calls for? Is an extra teaspoon way too much? When I tried it after about 3 hours last time, it was pretty runny, but it may be because I messed up while letting the gelatin bloom.
That's weird, I didn't delete any comments. I'm guessing it was just because of stiring it after the gelatin was gelled. But if you do want to increase I'd only do 1/4 tsp. more.
@@KetoUpgrade Thanks…I didn’t think you had deleted it necessarily. I have experienced several instances of my comments disappearing on Disney channels. It’s really weird. I’m not sure what’s going on. I posted on this thread a few days ago and came back to say that the posting was really good despite my gelatin thing, but if it’s here I can’t find it. I don’t flatter myself to think that content creators are targeting my (brilliant?!) comments. LOL Thanks for the info!!
Help. I could not get the pudding to thicken. I did not get any skin on top. The liquid did not taste like jello packaged cooked chocolate pudding. .. or even instant. I reviewed the recipe twice thinking I did not use enough arrowroot …but I did! Sigh. Help! G.🇨🇦Toronto, right across Lake Ontario!
Ok I remade the recipe with 2 different gelatin types different from the original recipe. And I think the gelatin has a big impact on the amount of geling that happens. In the original version I used thrive market grass fed beef gelatin and it gelled just right. I used a beef gelatin I bought at the store and it gelled but not as much as the other and I used Walmart brand unflavored gelatin and it barely gelled. I got skin on all of them still though. So if you want to fix the pudding you can reheat just enough to melt 1/4 tsp-1/2 tsp more of bloomed gelatin in it. It's a pretty easy recipe just have to get the amount of gelatin dialed in depending on what kind you use.
Hi. I saw your recipe. The first one looks like it would be good for me, a bariatric patient who can't have artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Is there a way to make other flavors, like vanilla, coconut, or othet non chocolate pudding?
I am very confused... I understand the ingredients but I don't understand the directions on how to make the pudding... I think what you're trying to do is a instant pudding which means everything is dry except for your wet ingredients and you mix all of that up at the at the end but really could you please break this down a little bit better what's an explanation because honestly just reading your ingredients doesn't tell me what I'm supposed to with them Maybe you could do a website where you have more space and time to actually explain the process a little better. I really want to do this but I'm just not sure how to go about doing it.. I'm a pie maker and I make incredibly delicious cream pies that's before I went to keto. I never did anything from a mix. So for me to go in the idea of a cook and serve package product makes no sense to me. I don't know where to start. I don't know how to use your ingredients...please. can you be more clear? I will come back to your channel later. Hope you will have more instruction or direction later. Or a web site with recipe cards. Thank you.
No, but SOMETHING must be used to thicken…..and it thickens the entire batch! Spreading out the few carbs is not a problem. If you are a purist keto police…then do not feast on pudding!
Only 243 calories! 🍫Wow! 🍫I would call the whole 🍫batch 🍫lunch! (cooked recipe!) Cooled in a larger bowl for more skin on top! 🐖Pig 🐖out! 🐖Enjoy🐖 Get that craving out of your system and 🎉rejoice 🎉then move on. 🎉 You are still in deep ketosis and probably lost weight if it was a fasting day! Because you ate less than 500 calories! 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫 Gladys, Toronto🇨🇦 Isn’t keto wonderful?🥰
