What's up with Sugar Free Pudding????

[celesteazul]

Hello to ALL,

I was wondering if anyone has prepared Chocolate or any flavor sugar free pudding?

What substitutes do you use if not milk??

[SunnySmile501]

The milk is not the problem. Sugar free pudding is thickened with corn starch and is full of carbs. If it were only the milk, you could use cream thinned with water.

Robbie, you can make a legal pudding using an egg custard (egg yolks, heavy cream, sweetener, and a flavoring agent.) It will be good, but it won't have the same plasticky viscosity as the cornstarch puddings.

I have lately been taking 2 oz. cream cheese, soften in the microwave, add 2 tblsp heavy cream, 1 tablespoon or so of SF maple syrup such as Maple Grove, Best Choice is good too, both made with Splenda and sorbitol. Later on OWL add chopped pecans...kind of a maple pecan cheese cake thing. I made one that I used a touch of stevia and frozen, thawed blueberries, I omitted the Maple syrup. It would be good with frozen, thawed strawberries too.

This is from Julia Child's Caramel Cream recipe.

6 large eggs
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 quart hot milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
pinch salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set the rack in the middle.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks and sugar together just to blend them. Don't beat them because you don't want bubbles to form. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking thoroughly. Then add the vanilla and salt. Pour into individual custard molds, like ceramic ramekins. Put the ramekins into a large baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 20-25 minutes until set at the edges but still slightly trembling in the center. Carefully remove from the baking dish and cool.

To low carb Julia Child's recipe, substitute a 50-50 mixture of heavy cream and water for the milk, and substitute a sugar substitute for the sugar. As you can imagine, this recipe will make ALOT. But you can cut it down by half.
