4 Ingredient Keto High Protein Chocolate Pudding
The secret to rich, silky-smooth chocolate pudding? Hard-boiled eggs! When blended with almond milk, cocoa powder and monk fruit, they transform into an ultra-creamy, protein-packed dessert that’s surprisingly decadent, low in carbs and keto-friendly.
Ingredients
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled, see note before starting
- 3/4 cup (6 fl oz/177 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 6 tbsp (72g) granular monk fruit sweetener blend, see note
- 6 tbsp (31g) unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
- Add the hard-boiled eggs and almond milk to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Make sure the eggs are fully blended, otherwise it will affect the texture of the pudding and you will taste the eggs if they are not fully blended.
- Add monk fruit and cocoa powder. Blend again until smooth, creamy and uniform in color, scraping down the sides as needed to make sure everything is evenly incorporated. Taste and add more sweetener or cocoa if needed.
- Divide the pudding among individual serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight. Do not skip refrigerating the pudding. Refrigerating the pudding thickens the pudding and also helps the cocoa and sweetness come through better.
- The pudding is best served chilled. You can also top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Store any leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Eggs note: Don’t overcook the eggs or you could end up with sulfur-tasting pudding. I like to add my eggs to boiling water and cook for 12 minutes then put them in an ice bath. The eggs need to be peeled/shells removed before adding them to the blender.
- Almond milk note: You can use plain unsweetened almond milk but we like using vanilla unsweetened since it adds a light vanilla flavor to the pudding. We also tested this with coconut milk but you can taste the coconut milk so we preferred the almond milk version.
- Monk fruit note: You need to use a granular sweetener. You can use regular sugar or coconut sugar if you don't need the pudding to be keto-friendly or low sugar. Out of the low carb sweeteners we tried, we found that monk fruit (mixed with erythritol) was best for sweetening the pudding and masking the eggs. It also works with allulose but the allulose version didn't taste as sweet so you may need to add more. I used Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener.*
