✨ Recipe Ingredients
- 3 Egg Yolks (large)
- 1 1/4 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Swerve Confectioners Sweetener
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Banana Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Whipped Cream and Keto Cookies for garnish
👨🍳 How To Make
Follow my easy keto banana pudding recipe:
Step 1
Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat on the stove. Place the heavy whipping cream inside and heat until it begins steaming. Don’t let it boil. Once it reaches this point, remove from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes (until cool to the touch).
Step 2
Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and start adding the warm cream slowly. Continue whisking the entire time.
Step 3
Return the saucepan to the heat and pour in the egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly.
Step 4
Add the Swerve Confectioner’s sugar substitute and mix well. Then, simmer the mixture and continue stirring until it thickens and looks more like pudding.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and banana extracts.
Step 6
Continue to whisk for a few minutes while the mixture cools. Then, place a layer of plastic wrap directly against the top of the mixture and chill for 3 hours. Serve with whipped cream and keto low-carb cookies. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Achieve the Ideal Pudding Consistency
Be careful not to overcook, as this can lead to a grainy texture. If you’re unsure, it’s better to err on the side of slightly undercooked – the pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you find your pudding is too thin after chilling, you can return it to the stove and cook it a bit more, but be gentle to avoid breaking down the structure you’ve already created.
2. Presentation
While this pudding is delicious on its own, how you serve it can take it to the next level. Instead of just dolloping whipped cream on top, try piping it for a more professional look. You can use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off if you don’t have a piping bag.
For the keto cookies, consider crushing some and sprinkling them on top for added texture. You could also layer the pudding with whipped cream and cookie crumbs in clear glasses for a parfait-style dessert.
