Easy Chocolate Pudding Cake Steps

Start by melting together some Keto-friendly chocolate chips and butter. Feel free to use non-dairy if needed.

If you heat chocolate too fast or unevenly it will get hard and lumpy so I recommend melting it in a double-boiler or in intervals in the microwave.

You can easily make your own double-boiler by placing a large, heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of boiling water. Then, place the chocolate in the heatproof bowl and stir until it's melted. If you choose to melt your chocolate in the microwave, start by heating it for 30 seconds then stir the chocolate very well. After that, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted.

Sweetening the cake

Then, beat together 2 large eggs and ¼ Cup of Keto-friendly Sweetener. I prefer to use the full ¼ Cup of sweetener because I have a massive sweet tooth. However, if you don't like your desserts super sweet like me you can reduce the sweetener to 2 Tbsp.

Add the melted chocolate to the egg/sugar mixture, along with ¼ Cup of Blanched Almond Flour and ½ tsp. Pure Vanilla. Mix well. Then, divide the batter between 2 well greased and parchment-lined ramekins. No need to be precise with the parchment paper, just a small square on the bottom of the ramekin will work fine to prevent sticking.

Baking the cake

Bake at 350 degrees for 14-18 minutes, or until the edges are firm and just the very centers are still slightly soft and jiggly. The longer you cook them the less pudding center they will have. They will fall after you take them out of the oven but don't panic, that's perfectly normal!

Allow cakes to cool 1 minute, then run a butter knife around the edges and invert onto a plate. Garnish with strawberries Sugar-Free Powdered Sweetener.

Tips To Ensure A Perfect Chocolate Pudding Cake

• Don't skip the parchment paper! If you skip the parchment paper, the bottom of the cake may stick to the ramekin and ruin all of your hard work! You don't need to be precise with the paper, just a small square piece on the bottom of the ramekin will work fine to help prevent sticking.
• Watch the cakes very carefully while they're in the oven because timing is key... if they're overcooked they won't have a gooey center! Everyone's ovens are different, so watch them carefully. They are done when the edges are firm and only the very centers are still slightly soft and jiggly.
• The recipe calls for ¼ Cup of sweetener, which makes it pretty sweet. If you don't prefer super sweet desserts, reduce the sweetener to 2 Tbsp.
