Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. This can be done using a hand mixer or a whisk. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Gently incorporate the whipped cream into the mixture of cream cheese. Use a spatula to carefully combine the two mixtures until fully incorporated. Take care not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
- Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk while continuing to fold the mixture. The almond milk will help achieve the desired pudding consistency.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more powdered erythritol. Keep in mind that the pudding will firm up slightly in the refrigerator, which can slightly mellow the sweetness.
- Once the pudding mixture is well combined and has a smooth texture, divide it among individual serving dishes or ramekins.
- Cover the dishes with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s set and chilled.
- Before serving, you can garnish the pudding with a sprinkle of cinnamon, additional lemon zest, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Keto Sugar-Free Cheesecake Pudding guilt-free!
Recipe Notes:
- Feel free to customize the flavor by adding a touch of cocoa powder for chocolate cheesecake pudding or a berry puree for a fruity twist.
- Keep in mind that the nutrition values provided are approximate and can vary based on the specific brands and ingredients you use.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly subtracted from the total carbohydrates in keto recipes due to its minimal impact on blood sugar. If you’re using a different sweetener, you may need to adjust the net carb count accordingly.
This Keto Sugar-Free Cheesecake Pudding is a creamy and satisfying dessert that fits well within a low-carb, ketogenic lifestyle. It’s a quick and easy recipe that requires no baking, making it perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without derailing your dietary goals.
