Keto Tapioca Pudding – Low Carb Sugar Free Tapioca Pudding

Keto Tapioca Pudding – This low carb tapioca pudding is a delicious and flavorful dessert made with only 5 ingredients that your kids will love.

What is Keto Tapioca Pudding?

Traditional tapioca pudding is made with tapioca pearls, milk, sugar, and eggs. However, tapioca pearls are high in carbohydrates, making them unsuitable for a keto diet. The keto-friendly version uses ingenious substitutes, such as chia seeds or konjac flour, to mimic the texture of tapioca pearls while keeping the carb count low.

Keto Tapioca Pudding – Important Tips

Sweetener – I use Monkfruit Sweetener because it has zero calories and a 1:1 sugar replacement, you can use vanilla liquid stevia instead.

Milk – Use coconut milk for much thicker pudding, 1% or 2% milk for a yogurt-style texture. You can also use macadamia nut milk, unsweetened almond milk, or vanilla-flavored almond milk with no added sugar.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Keto Tapioca Pudding

• Consistency is Key: If the pudding feels too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of almond or coconut milk. If it’s too runny, let it sit longer to allow the chia seeds or konjac pearls to absorb more liquid.
• Choose the Right Sweetener: Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener works best for a sugar-free, keto-friendly dessert without any aftertaste.
• Temperature Control: Avoid boiling the mixture, as high heat can alter the texture and flavor.

How to Serve Keto Tapioca Pudding

• Toppings: Enhance your pudding with sugar-free whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce.
• Layered Dessert: Use it as a layer in keto parfaits, alternating with crushed keto cookies or berry compote.
• Elegant Presentation: Serve in small glass jars or ramekins for a visually appealing dessert.

How to Store Keto Tapioca Pudding

Prevent Skin Formation: Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding before refrigerating to avoid a skin forming.

Refrigeration: Store the pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavor deepens as it sits, making it even more delicious.

Freezing: While not ideal, you can freeze the pudding for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and stir well before serving.

Unfortunately, tapioca pearls are high in carbs and not suitable for a keto diet. Substitutes like chia seeds or konjac pearls mimic their texture without the carbs.

Yes! Swap out heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream, and use unsweetened coconut milk instead of almond milk.
