You guys! It’s time for another tasty CHOCOLATE recipe! You knew it was coming, right?! I LOVE all things chocolate and make it a point to enjoy at least a little chocolatey treat almost every day. That being said, I LOVE when I open up my fridge and have this keto chocolate pudding on hand.

Pudding is SUCH a comfort food, and I’m so excited to share this amazing homemade chocolate pudding recipe with you! If you are a pudding lover like myself, you are going to absolutely LOVE this.

This pudding is easy to make, super low in carb content, and absolutely delicious! What could be better?!

The BEST homemade chocolate pudding

One of the reasons this pudding is SO amazing is because it only requires FIVE ingredients! Seriously, you guys. It is almost TOO easy. With just cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and of course, monk fruit sweetener, you will have the TASTIEST keto chocolate pudding EVER! 

The easy factor doesn’t end there. On top of only requiring five ingredients, this pudding only requires ten minutes of prep time. TEN! You simply mix all of the ingredients (check specific instructions below, as there is an art to it!), and then let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour. After an hour, BOOM. You’ve got delicious chocolate pudding!

If you’re a regular Real Balanced reader, I’m sure it is no surprise to you that this delicious chocolate pudding is completely low carb and perfect for the ketogenic diet. A HUGE follower of the keto diet, I specifically create ALL of my recipes to be as low in carbs as possible. 

Whether I’m making a giant, savory dinner dish or a yummy dessert, I keep everything low carb. Who said you can’t enjoy a little something sweet when on the keto diet?! It’s actually TOTALLY possible, and super easy, at that!

This keto chocolate pudding only contains 3.6 grams of net carbs per serving. How incredible is that?! One of the ways I keep the carbohydrate count of sweet dishes low is by using Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! 

Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener

Lakanto makes the absolute BEST sweetener out there. It tastes DELICIOUS! It’s net carb free, calorie free, and zero glycemic, meaning it will NOT spike blood sugar! It tastes exactly like sugar, and it’s honestly a life saver when it comes to creating ketogenic diet-friendly sweets. Oh, and did I mention it is ALL-natural?!

Monk fruit sweetener is great because it incorporates into recipes SO easily. It utilizes a 1:1 ratio to granulated sugar, so there is no measuring required. 

Lakanto offers two variations of their sweetener: Classic and Golden. Classic is typically used as a replacement for white sugar, and Golden for brown. However, you can use both variations interchangeably! Whichever you have on hand will work completely fine.

If you would like to try out Monk Fruit Sweetener, now is the PERFECT time. Lakanto provides TWO awesome ways for Real Balanced readers to save. 

Use code “REALBALANCED” to save 20% on your Lakanto purchase! OR, if you’re interested in trying out the products first, save 60% on the Lakanto Taste Test Bundle! 

The EASIEST low carb chocolate pudding

This yummy recipe produces eight servings, though you may want to make a little extra, because I have a feeling you will want to DEVOUR this tasty stuff! 

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to work as the perfect dessert dish for your next dinner party! Trust me, it will be a HIT.

    Can you do this recipe dairy free using Daiya cream cheese and something other than heavy whipped cream?

      Hi, Paulete! I can’t say for sure as I’ve never personally worked with Daiya cream cheese but, if it’s the same consistency as regular cream cheese, I could see that working! You may be able to get away with subbing in canned coconut cream for the heavy whipping cream! If you try this, let me know how it goes! ☺️

    What if I have Monk Powder Sugar would that not be able to be used instead of using the regular and putting it in the food processor?

      Great question, Cindy! Since your monk fruit sweetener is already powdered, you can just skip the step of pulsing it in the food processor.
