Ingredient Notes
Monk Fruit Sweetener – This calorie free sweetener closely resembles regular sugar in taste, appearance and texture . You will need the granulated version for this pudding recipe.
Unsweetened chocolate – You can use any brand of unsweetened baking squares. Make sure to check the label to ensure no added sugars or flours.
Heavy whipping cream – We make homemade whipped cream by beating the heavy cream into stiff peaks. Folded in with melted chocolate and butter, it creates beautifully thick and creamy mousse!
Vanilla – A little goes a long way. Pure vanilla extract enhances the deep chocolate flavor with its rich fragrant taste.
Tips and Tricks
- Whisk frequently while heating the chocolate, butter and eggs. When the mixture easily coats the back of a spoon, it’s ready to come off of the heat and be blended with the whipped cream.
- Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours before serving. This gives it time for the thick mixture to set. The flavor is so much better when it’s nice and cold, too!
- Divide the pudding into ramekins before chilling for easy storage and serving. It can also be chilled in one container and spooned into individual bowls when ready to serve.

I have problems with artificial sweeteners, they give me migraines. I have never used Monk Fruit, so I’m concerned about this. I have Swerve on hand, it doesn’t bother me. Can I substitute it? You said xylitol will work, and Swerve is an alcohol based sugar. Do you think it will work. Otherwise I’ll taste taste the Monk Fruit and see what happens. Stevia was unsuccessful.

I prefer monk fruit (as a fellow migraine sufferer) as it doesn't leave me with headaches or an aftertaste.
