Aunt Rocky’s Banana Pudding (LCHF)

Measure out all ingredients and line up serving dishes before starting. This pudding comes together quickly. I use five 4-ounce mason jars with lids. You could also use a single serving bowl and serve out portions from that.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sweetener and glucomannan together with a fork. This will keep the glucomannan from clumping when you mix it into hot pudding mixture. Set aside.

Pour cream and coconut milk into medium saucepan. Add egg yolks and whisk well until uniform color and no strings of egg yolks appear. Add sweetener and glucomannan mixture and whisk again.

Heat on medium heat, stirring frequently. You don’t want it to boil! When mixture begins to bubble around the edges, reduce heat to medium-low, and keep stirring. It will take 3–5 minutes, but pudding should soon begin to thicken. Cook until pudding coats the back of the stirring spoon and little bubbles are appearing over the entire surface. Keep in mind pudding will thicken quite a bit more when it is chilled. Remove from heat.

Add banana extract and stir well. Pour into serving bowl or small serving dishes. Set on wire rack until cool. After cooling, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Chilled pudding may be frozen and defrosted without separating or changing consistency.

Notes:
• Recipe updated June 16, 2019 to eliminate need for tempering egg yolks. No change to ingredient list.
• Glucomannan can be used to thicken gravies and sauces, too. It’s best to mix with another dry ingredient to keep it from clumping, or sprinkle lightly over an entire surface a little at a time. A little goes a long way.
