### Instructions:
#### 1. **Combine Cream and Milk**:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to steam but doesn’t boil.
#### 2. **Whisk the Sweetener**:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, salt, and egg yolk. If you’re making chocolate pudding, add the cocoa powder to this mixture as well. Whisk until smooth and combined.
#### 3. **Temper the Egg Yolk**:
Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. This process, called tempering, prevents the egg yolks from curdling. Once combined, slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture.
#### 4. **Cook and Stir**:
Return the saucepan to the stovetop over medium heat. Continue to stir constantly until the pudding thickens, which should take about 3-5 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
#### 5. **Chill and Serve**:
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer it into serving dishes. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
#### 6. **Garnish (Optional)**:
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. You can also add a few raspberries or strawberries to add a burst of color and flavor.
### Tips for Perfect Keto Pudding:
– **Sweetener Choices**: Feel free to adjust the amount of erythritol or use another keto-friendly sweetener, such as stevia or monk fruit, to suit your taste.
– **For a Thicker Pudding**: If you prefer a thicker texture, you can add a little more egg yolk, but be sure to temper it properly.
– **Chocolate Lovers**: If you’re a fan of chocolate, don’t hesitate to increase the amount of cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
– **Dairy-Free Option**: If you’re avoiding dairy, simply swap the heavy cream with coconut cream and use almond or coconut milk.
