We had several containers of heavy whipping cream in the fridge that were creeping towards their (out-of-of-date) date. So I wanted to come up with a recipe that used one of them up. Also, I had been wanting to make a good, and healthy chocolate pudding. That, my friends, is how this recipe was born.
I added 2 heaping tablespoons of cocoa, thinking that it wouldn’t be enough, and that i’d have to add more later. Turns out, it was the perfect amount. If you don’t like it super rich, then just do 1 tablespoon. Now if you’re like me and love chocolate, then keep it at 2 tablespoons. The richer the better right??
A week ago I attempted to make a healthy version of Macarons. They didn’t turn out right, so a few minutes ago, I put some of this healthy pudding on one and make a sandwich with it. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!!

Healthy Chocolate Pudding/Mousse (Keto, THM, and Low-Carb)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tbsp Cocoa (Heaping)
- 1.5 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- 1-2 tsp Xanthan Gum (Thickener)
- 2 tsp Pyure (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients EXCEPT xanthan gum in a medium saucepan. Turn on medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer. Slowly add the xanthan gum until you get the desired texture. (2 tsp makes a pretty thick pudding texture. If you want it a bit lighter, add just a tsp.)
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. Take out and enjoy! (Be prepared, it's RICH!!!)
