Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (about 200g)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol)
- 2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 cup homemade whipped cream
Instructions
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth and free of lumps to create a creamy base.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Place a saucepan over low heat, and combine the full-fat coconut milk with the unflavored gelatin powder, stirring continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, without boiling.
- Add Sweetener and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the keto-friendly sweetener along with the pure vanilla extract to incorporate sweetness and flavor.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the coconut milk gelatin mixture, mixing until the ingredients are evenly combined and smooth.
- Chill to Set: Pour the pudding mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least two hours, or until fully set and chilled.
- Serve: Optionally, top the set pudding with homemade whipped cream before serving for added richness and decoration.
Notes
- Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and flavor but note that they contain some carbs, so adjust portions per your keto plan.
- Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any grainy texture in the pudding.
- If using store-bought whipped cream, check for added sugars to keep it keto-friendly.
- For a stricter keto version, reduce banana quantity or substitute with a lower-carb fruit like avocado.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the pudding to fully set before serving for best texture.
