Keto 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.

LOVE this! Easy to make
I made the pudding. Creamy and delicious just like I hoped! The only thing is that it turned out a little bitter. I had to add more stevia to it. I plan in reducing the cocoa powder a bit.
I agree, Maria, it is bitter. I had to use Stevia b/c I didn’t have the monk fruit sweetener. Let me know if reducing the cocoa powder helped, please.
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.
Well this looks delightful!!!
So yummy! Thanks, Ren! ?
