Ingredients
-
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.
