Chocolate Pot de Creme is one of my all time favorite desserts. It’s like a mix between chocolate pudding and chocolate fudge, what could you not love about that? This low-carb version tastes just like my favorite go-to recipe but without the guilt of all of that sugar! This is one ketogenic treat you can feel good about!
Since these are little individual sized desserts they make a great option for dinner parties. You can easily double or triple the recipe as well. If you’re not dairy free, feel free to use heavy whipping cream in place of the coconut milk!
You also have a few choices as far as toppings go. Sea salt is a personal favorite but crushed nuts, keto whipped cream, or extra chocolate shaving would all be delicious.
Suggestions and Swaps
You can use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. If using 85% dark chocolate, one serving will contain 8.9 g net carbs. If using 90% dark chocolate, one contain will contain 7 g net carbs.
If you use any sugar-free chocolate such as Lily's, you will have to reduce the amount of cream by about 1/4 cup, or add a little more chocolate. Sugar-free chocolate typically contains less cocoa solids and will be runnier when combined with hot cream.
When you using canned coconut milk, keep at room temperature and shake well before measuring out a cup (you'll need both the creamy part and the juice). Alternatively, you can use liquid coconut milk like Aroy-D.
