Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gently Soft Scramble your eggs in a fry pan, you can also cook them in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl or steamer (about 2 minutes, stop at 1 minute to stir), or you could even use the "cook" setting on your blender to cook the egg while you are blending. DO NOT OVERCOOK YOUR EGGS. This will make an eggy flavor and a bad texture. Be very careful about how long you cook. They should be just set, not browning at all.

  • Add all ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth! Scrape down and blend again.

  • Chill for 30 minutes

  • If your pudding isn't setting up, you can add 1/2 tsp of gluccie or xanthan gum.

Notes

Some people have been reporting a grainy-ness or a pudding that doesn't set up. I am not a professional recipe writer lol!!! What I have determined may be the cause is the cocoa powder and sweetener. I use the Rodelle brand cocoa powder (I get it from Costco- if you have a business center it's in stock year round!) and I used Xylitol free Gentle sweet for the pictured recipe. I do think that is the key to thick, creamy , gritless pudding!

Also, make sure you aren't over cooking your eggs. Scramble (cook) them to just set in the pan. You don't want to over cook as that may change the texture!

-I made this recipe using whey protein as a flavor substitution. Be aware, it will still taste good, but may not get as thick as the original recipe. Also, blend everything except the protein powder, add that at the very end after you have everything all creamed together, otherwise it will get fluffy!

If you have other questions feel free to message me!

    YUM!
    I just made my 2nd batch in 2 days, only this time I was wise enough to double the batch! I added a splash of maple extract this time, but next time I will try orange extract. This would be awesome as a filling for those Crepini I found at Costco last week! Topped with some Berry WOW sauce or fresh raspberries and a squirt of some whooping cream … a dessert I would serve company!

        Hey, Becky! I have made my own nut milk many, many times. if you can get raw almonds and have a blender you can make your own. Easy peasy! I used a nut milk bag strainer from Amazon, but you could also use a double layer of muslin if that is what you have readily available.

      Loved it so much!! So did my hubby. Question…. Can i make it the original way and then at the end, add the hemp protein for a boost? I wasn’t sure if it should replace something or could be added. I am just getting started with the THM way and made this and some zuchinni brownies Sunday. I think I’m going to love this lifestyle!!

    Oh. My. WORD!!! I used 4T Allulose and blended it into confectioners so it wouldn’t be gritty (I think next time – and there WILL be a next time! – I would use the original 3T suggested) and added cherry, vanilla and coffee extracts to the chocolate. 30 minutes later it was floofy, slime-free heaven. I can’t thank you enough for this. Best THM FP I have ever had. Good thing I only made one batch. 😋

      Was it still liquid before you chilled it? Mine was and I added the Zanthsn gum because I wanted to eat it right away but wondered if just letting it chill would still create the texture.

        It should be thick-ish before it goes in the fridge, but will set up more as it chills. Try half the amount of almond milk. I’m not sure why it’s perfect as written for some and doesn’t set up for others!

        So good! Have tried it three ways: w regular GentleSweet and Central Market Cocoa. That was a tad gritty. Bought Rodelle’s, but I think the big thing was to grind the GentleSweet in the blender before adding other ingredients. So smooth! I needed more sweetener, so added another 1.5 tsp and some rum extract. Topped w nonfat Rediwhip. Now I am ready to try the other flavors. Thanks for creating this recipe!

    Awesome!! I have made it a few times and once cooked the egg too long in the microwave (so gross). But this last time it was perfect. I doubled the recipe and used 2/3 cup Allulose powder and 2 donks stevia. If anyone is unfamiliar with Allulose, it takes almost twice the amount than gentle sweet to achieve the same sweetness and is still a mild sweet, so thats where the stevia helps. I love it because the powder is super fine and not grainy at all in these kinds of recipes. I also added a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum and doubled the salt. Thanks so much for this creamy dreamy FP wonder!!
