Creamy Sugar-Free Vanilla Pudding 🍮
A delightful sugar-free vanilla pudding recipe that's creamy, low-carb, and easy to make. Perfect for a healthy dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups heavy whipping cream (or full-fat canned coconut milk for dairy-free), divided (1/3 cup + 1 1/3 cups)
- 1/3 cup sugar-free vanilla syrup
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream and gelatin powder in a small bowl, whisking immediately until combined. Set aside to thicken for a few minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1 1/3 cups of heavy whipping cream, sugar-free vanilla syrup, and sea salt. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly for about 5 minutes, until smooth and just beginning to bubble gently around the edges. Avoid a rolling boil.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Slowly and gradually pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while continuously whisking to temper them and prevent scrambling. Continue adding the hot cream mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Stir the bloomed gelatin mixture into the warm pudding mixture. Whisk well until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes until lukewarm. Whisk again to remove any film. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully firm and set.
- Once chilled and firm, give the pudding a good stir or whip it with a hand mixer for a minute or two to make it wonderfully light and silky smooth before serving.
Notes
This creamy, sugar-free vanilla pudding is a perfect low-carb treat. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of heavy whipping cream. Enjoy this wonderfully light and silky smooth dessert!
