Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Incorporate Gelatin:
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over the mixture, whisking constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Ensure the mixture does not boil.
- Chill the Pudding:
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled and firm, remove from the refrigerator. Optionally, garnish with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries before serving.
Notes
- Sweetener Options: Adjust the type and amount of sweetener to taste, keeping in mind that different sweeteners have varying levels of sweetness.
- Dairy-Free Alternative: Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
