Keto Chocolate Pudding Backstory

I will be the first to admit that I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

Go team salty all the way!

You won't find chips or crackers in the house because when it comes to all things salty and crunchy, I have no control.

All of this goes out the window once a month - around THAT time - whenI get a strong craving for some yummy chocolate goodness.

In the past, I would keep my favorite brand of chocolate bar in the freezer.

It didn't tempt me most of the time, but then I'd savor that bar over the course of a week. In a bad month I MIGHT have two bars.

(Because every now in then I feel the need to get a little wild.)

Of course, it was loaded with sugar and it had no place in my low-carb diet.

Good thing there are recipes like this Keto Chocolate Pudding to fill the gap.

You are going to want to dive into this low carb chocolate pudding!

This recipe is full of creamy, chocolate goodness, and still manages to fit perfectly into a low carb lifestyle.

You can make it as thick - or as creamy - as you like by adjusting the amount of gelatin you use.

And bonus points - gelatin is fabulous for your skin, so you can actually feel good about enjoying this recipe. (Although in full disclosure, you really need a touch more gelatin than is in a serving of this recipe and you need to be taking it every day to see a difference.)
