Keto Lemon Pudding – Important Tips
Make Ahead – This low carb lemon pudding dessert is a perfect and easy make-ahead pudding, make a big batch, pack into smaller containers, store in the fridge, whenever you crave a sweet dessert, grab the container and enjoy a quick snack with your kids and family.
Lemon – Use lemon extract or lemon juice (whichever you like). I prefer the lemon extract because it is a bit bitter and you can easily control the level of lemon flavor with the extract.

Recipe FAQs
1. Can I use almond milk or coconut milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk. However, the pudding will be less rich and creamy.
2. What’s the best keto sweetener for this recipe?
Monk fruit and erythritol are excellent choices. Both mimic sugar’s sweetness without adding carbs. Avoid sweeteners like xylitol if you’re serving it to pets.
3. Can I make this pudding dairy-free?
Absolutely! Swap out the heavy cream with coconut cream and use ghee or coconut oil instead of butter.
4. Why isn’t my pudding setting?
If your pudding is runny, it may need more chilling time, or the mixture might not have cooked long enough to thicken. Ensure you cook it over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon.
5. Can I make this in advance?
Yes! Keto lemon pudding is ideal for meal prepping. Make it a day ahead for the best flavor and texture.
