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:
-
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).
-
-
Incorporate the Cream
-
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Simmer for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.

✔ Top with whipped cream

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.
