Banana in Keto


Many of us have a misconception regarding keto diets and bananas. So before going to the recipe, I want to discuss it. It is a controversial food and requires a small amount to make the pudding. Moreover, I believe that you can't differentiate foods as keto or non-keto. Besides that, you need to control your carbohydrate intake to get slim and reduce your weight. It's up to you what you want to do, like reducing your portion size or complete shift to protein diets without any carbohydrate sources.

However, this pudding requires a medium-sized banana that wasn't considered the primary source of carbohydrates. Instead of bananas, heavy cream is the primary source of carbohydrates in banana pudding.


Banana Pudding Ingredients

  • Sweetener (erythritol) 3 tablespoons

  • Xanthan gum 1 teaspoon

  • Salt 1 pinch

  • Eggs (only yolk) 3

  • Vanilla extract 1 and half teaspoon

  • Heavy cream 1 and half cup

  • Banana slices


Preparation

  • Take a medium saucepan. Add sweetener, xanthan gum, and salt. Wisk all of them together

  • Add yolks with continuous stirring. Keep stirring until it combines in equal consistency.

  • Now start adding heavy cream in portions. Make sure that you stir properly after adding every bit.

  • Now the mixture starts thickening.

  • Place the pan on low heat and stir continuously until the mixture starts boiling. It takes 2 to 4 minutes to cook the mixture.

  • After boiling, remove the pan from heat and let it cool at room temperature.

  • Now add vanilla extract and again stir for proper mixing.

  • Now take a separate medium bowl and add the remaining half heavy cream and blend by using an electric blender.

  • Add sweetener or vanilla extract into the cream and blend until a stiff peak forms.

  • Now add the whipped cream into cooled pudding, or you can make layers of both.

  • Add banana slices on the top or in between the layers of the pudding and stiff cream.


Tips to Follow

  • Whisk the egg yolks before adding them to the mixture. It helps to get a better texture without cooking or curdling

  • Once the egg and sweetener are thoroughly combined, then slow down the moving process because heavy stirring separates them again. So, stir with light hands

  • It is a small amount of mixture that thicken up readily, so don't walk around while making pudding

  • Immediately remove the pan when it comes to the thickening stage

  • You can see the mixture leave the pan surface when it starts thickening, so take it as an indicator of the thickening process

  • Xanthan gum is added to get better consistency

If you are planning to make the pudding for two people, then double the ingredients. It is not a big deal. You can easily double or triple the ingredients and make your desire consistent.

Make a delicious pudding and enjoy it during your keto diet like a low carb food. I hope this recipe turns out well for you and you want it a lot.
