This Rich Chocolate Pudding will satisfy any chocolate lovers craving. It is so smooth and creamy no one will ever guess it is dairy and sugar free.
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.

Rich Chocolate Pudding – Dairy & Sugar Free, Low Carb, THM S
Ingredients:
2 cans of full fat coconut milk(13.5 oz each)
3/4 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
2 tbsp butter flavored coconut oil
3 bars of 90% chocolate (10.5 oz total) ***
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
*** You can use unsweetened chocolate but may want to increase the sweetener to taste. You can also use stevia sweetened chocolate, like Lily’s, but then decrease the sweetener to taste.
Instructions:
Combine the coconut milk, sweetener, and coconut oil in a medium saucepan. Cook on medium until simmering. Reduce to medium-low or low and simmer for about 1 hour until reduced by half. Stir every 10-15 minutes.
Put the chocolate in a large glass bowl. Pour the hot reduced coconut milk over the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Transfer to a glass dish and refrigerate until thickened, at least 4 hours.
This makes about 30 oz of pudding. It is so rich I recommend 3 oz servings. With whipped cream on top, of course.
