Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Banana extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• 1 cup Heavy cream (for whipped topping)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sweetener (for whipped topping)
• 8 pieces Low-carb almond flour cookies or sugar-free vanilla wafers (optional, for layering)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and erythritol until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding. Avoid boiling.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the banana extract, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum (if using) for additional thickness. Let the pudding cool for 15 minutes.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sweetener until stiff peaks form to create a low-carb whipped topping.

Step 8

Layer the pudding in serving glasses or a trifle dish with the whipped cream and low-carb almond flour cookies, if desired.

Step 9

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
