Keto Vanilla Pudding – Important Tips
Cream – Heavy cream is the best option, use full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free.
Gelatin – Blooming of gelatin is done to get a smooth texture at the end. sprinkle over liquid to let it soften.
Thickener – Cornstarch works the best here, with just 0.5 g carbs per serving, which is perfect on keto. You can try adding xanthan gum, psyllium powder, guar gum, and konjac root as thickening agents. But these will make pudding feel slippery and konjac root makes the pudding gloppy and grainy.
