Kick those banana cravings to the curb with this creamy pudding.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (I used Lakanto Classic)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon banana flavored extract
DIRECTIONS
1
Add 3 egg yolks to a small bowl and set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk heavy cream and monk fruit sweetener over medium heat. You will want to make sure your liquid is hot but not boiling. This will start to thicken.
3
Add xanthan gum to cream mixture and continue to whisk. Slowly add in egg yolks one at a time and whisk until blended. Remove from heat and continue to stir until pudding has thickened (this should take about 3 minutes).
4
Once pudding has thickened, add in banana flavoring. Divide evenly into 4 oz. glass jars. Add a piece of plastic wrap over the pudding to avoid any air from getting to the pudding. Place lid on jar and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Enjoy!

Don’t be alarmed by the high total carb count!
Erythritol and Monk Fruit (the main ingredients in this Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener blend) do not affect blood sugar in the same way that regular carbs do, so we subtracted them from the total carb count. You’ll see that the net carbs are much lower once you remove the sugar alcohols.
