Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
• 4 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
• 0.25 cups Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and instant espresso powder. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve any lumps.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture until it's hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Gradually pour a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid scrambling.

Step 5

Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan while whisking constantly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the pudding thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to prevent a skin from forming).

Step 9

Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.

Step 10

Serve cold. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flair.
