Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 40 seconds (microwave)
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s, Bake Believe; semi-sweet, dark, or white)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Optional Toppings:
- Keto-friendly whipped cream (made from heavy whipping cream)
- A sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate shavings or a few extra chocolate chips
Equipment:
- Small microwave-safe bowl
- Spoon or small whisk
Instructions:
- Melt Peanut Butter & Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for approximately 40 seconds, or until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is very soft and glossy.
- Stir in Almond Milk: Remove the bowl from the microwave. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk.
- Stir vigorously with a spoon or small whisk until the almond milk is well mixed in and the pudding is smooth and creamy. It will thicken slightly as you stir.
- Serve & Enjoy! Serve the pudding immediately while warm, or place it in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to chill and thicken further.
- For an extra decadent touch, top with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream. Enjoy this quick and delicious Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Pudding!
Tips for Success:
- Peanut Butter Quality: Use natural, no-sugar-added peanut butter for the best keto results and flavor.
- Chocolate Chips: Brands like Lily’s and Bake Believe are excellent sugar-free options and come in various flavors like semi-sweet, dark, and white chocolate.
- Consistency Control:
- For a Thicker Pudding: As the recipe tip mentions, replacing almond milk with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream will result in a much thicker, richer pudding. This is a fantastic option if you prefer a denser, more decadent texture, keeping in mind it will be higher in calories and fat.
- If your pudding seems too thick after stirring, you can add a tiny bit more almond milk (½ teaspoon at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, a quick 10-second microwave might thicken it slightly as the chocolate solidifies a bit.
- Serving Temperature: This pudding is delicious both warm and chilled. Chilling will give it a firmer, more traditional pudding consistency.
- Whisk for Smoothness: A small whisk can help achieve a very smooth, lump-free pudding.
