| A pudding with a delicious and rich mocha flavor. |
Ingredients:
1/3 cup Lakanto Classic monkfruit sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)
1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 cup low carb latte or coffee flavored protein powder
1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 cup low carb latte or coffee flavored protein powder
1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
2 egg yolks
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 egg yolks
2 cups heavy whipping cream
5 drops Lakanto liquid chocolate sweetener (optional)
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure coffee extract
plastic wrap
plastic wrap
whipped cream (optional)
sugar free chocolate chips (optional)
Method:
In a small bowl, stir together the classic sweetener, salt, xanthan gum, protein powder and cocoa. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and creamy. Set aside.
In a saucepan, over medium to medium-high heat heat the cream and liquid sweetener until hot, but not boiling.
Add the dry ingredients to the hot cream and whisk to thoroughly blend. Continue to stir and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture should begin to thicken and lightly bubble. Continue to stir until it thickens a bit more. Turn the heat down to low/simmer.
Whisk about 1/3 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Quickly return the egg mixture to the liquid in the saucepan, whisking to blend. Continue stirring and cooking to thicken a bit more. Add the butter and stir until melted and mixed in. Remove from heat and stir in the extracts. Divide the pudding evenly between 6 small bowls. Lightly press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the top of the pudding. (This prevents a "skin" from forming on the pudding.) Place in the refrigerator to completely chill, for at least 1 hour. (Longer produces a firmer pudding.) When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap. If desired, top with a small dollop (2 tablespoons) of whipped cream and 3 or 4 chocolate chips. Makes 6 servings.
Notes: This pudding is so delicious! ~ my husband said the texture and flavor is fantastic. I think it tastes a bit like a mocha mousse. (My 95 year old uncle loved it, too.)
