Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate (unflavored or chocolate)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, and unflavored gelatin powder.
Gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk until well combined and smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue whisking until the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil.
Once heated through, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Slowly add the whey protein isolate, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture remains smooth and there are no lumps.
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or a large bowl.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled, and if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
