Creamy Keto Butterscotch Pudding

I had an epiphany when I saw my crème anglaise footage that if I just thicken it a little and add some keto butterscotch chips it would be a delicious keto butterscotch pudding. It of course wasn't as easy as that but I figured out the ratios eventually and it turned out delicious.

This started as a crème anglaise recipe, just heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla and allulose. Then with figuring out a keto sweetened condensed milk recipe that tastes like a thick caramel heavy cream, I decided that that was a good way to start off the butterscotch pudding. I prefer allulose when I'm boiling something for awhile, you could use erythritol/monkfruit but it may crystalize. I simmer the allulose with heavy cream until it is a little caramelly in color. This makes a delicious base for the pudding. The amount of allulose used is completely customizable. I still like things really sweet probably because I'm a sugar addict. So this butterscotch pudding is pretty sweet but you can cut back the allulose if you prefer.

To give us more portions for a little bit less carbs I cut the heavy cream with an unsweetened nut milk, can use any you like. But doing that, I got up to 7 egg yolks and still it wasn't setting like a pudding so I opted to add gelatin to help. And it worked great, giving it just enough to set like a Jell-O pudding pack. So decadent, creamy and buttery. To help set it also and give it a more butterscotch flavor I used Lily's butterscotch chips, which I found at Walmart! You can use any keto chips you want, I even made a batch with the Lily's salted caramel chips and it was yummy also!
