Rich Chocolate Pudding Recipe – Low Carb, Keto, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free, THM S

I set out to make dairy free fudge yesterday. And I ended up with pudding. That is a kitchen fail I can live with. The only low carb puddings I’ve tried have had a thickener in them that ends up altering the texture. This pudding is basically reduced coconut milk with sweetener and chocolate. No thickeners are needed. It takes a good amount of time to reduce the coconut milk but you only need to give it a stir every 10-15 minutes so it’s pretty hands off.

Every bowl of chocolate pudding deserves a dollop of whipped cream. I cheated and used a squirt from a can (not dairy free and it has a small amount of added sugar) for my photos. Anytime my kids see a can of whipped cream they want a squirt in their mouths. I am happy to oblige. I believe whipped cream directly from the can into the mouth is a necessary part of childhood.

    This is so easy and incredibly delicious! I used 85% chocolate because it’s what I had on hand, and I halved the recipe for my family of 4. I wasn’t sure if my kids would appreciate the rich, deep dark chocolate taste. But they gobbled it up! Hubby went back for seconds, which says a lot. This is a recipe I will even use for when we have dinner guests over — served in pretty glass dessert cups or martini glasses. For my kids I did put a squirt of whip cream and a few sprinkles on top. Highly recommend this dessert even if you don’t need to be dairy free.

    Does this make vanilla pudding if you leave the chocolate out or is the chocolate one of the thickening agents in this?

      I think the chocolate is a thickening agent. I'm not quite sure what would happen if you totally left it out. I think you could sub in raw cocoa butter for a white chocolate pudding.

    What kind of chocolate bars do you use to make this dairy free ?

      I used Lindt 90% dark chocolate bars. Most 85% dark chocolate does not have dairy.

    Mine turned out more like a mousse than pudding. Delicious though! :D

    I made this, and it was awesome! My picky kids didn't even know it was healthy or sugar-free. Mine, too, turned to fudge when I refrigerated it. It was like a lovely chocolate ganache. I should have gotten out the scooper, and rolled the balls in lightly sweetened cocoa powder... Viola! TRUFFLES! Loved this super versatile recipe!

    how many servings is this? I may not be reading the recipe right, in a bit of a fog today! It says that a serving is 3 oz, but it uses 2 13.5 oz cans of coconut milk. I think I must be missing something? Thanks Jackie

      About ten. This makes about 30 oz of pudding. It is so rich I recommend 3 oz servings.

    After reducing the milk for an hour it didn't seem to be reduced by half, so I continued another 30 min. It was wonderful warm pudding. But today, after chilling it overnight, it is no longer pudding, it is FUDGE! It is creamy rich fudge! So reduce milk for 1 hour for pudding and 1 1/2 hours for fudge! You can't go wrong either way. :)

      Yay for fudge! That is so funny. I need to try again :) I thought I should've just reduced longer or just used a little less coconut milk.

    If I don't have buttered flavored coconut oil can I just use Kerrygold butter mixed with coconut oil?

      If you don't need this to be dairy free you can just use the kerrygold butter. Or refined coconut oil so it doesn't have a coconut flavor.
