Description

This Keto High Protein Lemon Pudding recipe is a total game-changer. It uses a brilliant technique to create a rich, smooth, custard-like texture without any cornstarch, added sugar, or protein powder. It’s the perfect high-protein snack or sugar-free dessert that tastes like a bright, tangy indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tsp Unflavored gelatin (or agar agar for vegetarian)

  • 4 Large fresh eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup Liquid egg whites (from a carton is perfect)

  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened coconut milk (or heavy whipping cream)
  • 1 tsp Lemon liquid stevia (or your favorite low-carb sweetener)
  • Lemon zest (For garnish, optional)


Instructions

  • Bloom the Gelatin: Pour the fresh lemon juice into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface of the juice and set it aside. This allows the gelatin to soften.

  • Gently Scramble the Eggs: In a large non-stick skillet, combine your 4 beaten whole eggs and 1 cup of liquid egg whites. Place the skillet over medium heat. Gently stir and fold the eggs, as if you’re making a soft scramble. Cook them until they are just cooked through but still soft and moist. Do not brown them!

  • Blend Everything Until Velvety: Immediately transfer the hot scrambled eggs to a high-speed blender or a food processor. Add the unsweetened coconut milk (or heavy cream), your low-carb sweetener, and the bloomed gelatin-lemon juice mixture.

  • Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend again if needed. The result should be a smooth, liquidy, and slightly frothy mixture with no lumps.

  • Taste and Adjust: Carefully taste the liquid. Add a few more drops of stevia or a tiny bit more lemon juice if needed. Remember, the flavors will be slightly more subtle when chilled.

  • Pour and Chill: Pour the smooth pudding mixture evenly into 3 six-ounce serving jars, ramekins, or bowls. Place them in the refrigerator, uncovered, and let them chill for 2-3 hours, or until the pudding is firm and set.

Notes

  • Egg Cooking Tip: We’re just cooking the eggs for texture and protein, not for a breakfast-y flavor. Cooking them gently without browning is key.
  • Blending Tip: The heat from the freshly cooked eggs will help the gelatin dissolve, and the blender will completely smooth out the eggs.
