Keto Butterscotch Pudding (Sugar-Free & Low-Carb)

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups heavy cream

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

  • ½ cup Keystone Pantry Allulose

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ tsp xanthan gum (for thickening)


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Butterscotch Base

    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

    • Add Keystone Pantry Allulose and salt, stirring constantly. Let it cook until it becomes golden brown and caramelized (about 3–5 minutes).

  2. Incorporate the Cream

    • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Simmer for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. Temper the Egg Yolks

    • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks.

    • Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot butterscotch mixture into the yolks while whisking (this prevents scrambling).

    • Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking continuously.

  4. Thicken the Pudding

    • Reduce heat to low and sprinkle in xanthan gum, whisking constantly.

    • Cook for 2–3 more minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Finish with Vanilla & Chill

    • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

    • Pour pudding into serving cups, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it onto the surface to prevent skin from forming), and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.


Serving Suggestions:

✔ Top with whipped cream
✔ Sprinkle with sea salt or keto-friendly chocolate shavings
✔ Drizzle with extra keto butterscotch sauce

FAQ for Keto Butterscotch Pudding

Q1: Is this Keto Butterscotch Pudding truly sugar-free?
A1: Yes! We use Keystone Pantry Allulose, a natural sugar substitute, which provides sweetness without raising blood sugar levels, making it perfect for keto and low-carb diets.

Q2: Can I make this pudding dairy-free?
A2: Absolutely. Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and use a vegan butter alternative to keep it low-carb and dairy-free.

Q3: How do I prevent the pudding from forming a skin?
A3: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding while it chills. This prevents a skin from forming and keeps it silky smooth.

Q4: Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
A4: Yes! It tastes even better after chilling for a few hours or overnight. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Q5: How can I make the pudding thicker?
A5: Xanthan gum is added for thickening. If you prefer an even firmer texture, add a tiny extra pinch (about 1/8 tsp) while whisking.

Q6: Can I add flavors to this pudding?
A6: Definitely! Keto-friendly chocolate, coffee, or a hint of cinnamon can be added to customize your pudding without adding sugar.
