5. Ingredients Needed
For the Pudding Cups
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

6. How to Make Our Steamed Milk & Egg Pudding Cups
- Whisk the eggs. In a bowl, gently whisk the eggs until smooth—avoid whipping too much air.
- Warm the milk. Heat almond milk until just warm (not boiling).
- Combine ingredients. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the eggs. Add sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
- Strain the mixture. For extra-smooth pudding, pour through a fine sieve into a jug.
- Fill the cups. Divide evenly among 4 heat-safe ramekins.
- Steam gently. Place ramekins in a pot, add 1 inch of water, cover, and steam on low for 10–12 minutes until softly set.
- Serve. Enjoy warm or chilled—both textures are delicious and satisfying.
Steaming keeps the custard silky, while the keto-friendly ingredients keep carbs low and protein high.
7. Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Storing: Refrigerate for up to 3 days covered.
- Reheating: Warm gently in a steamer or microwave in 10-second intervals.
- Freezing: Not recommended—texture becomes grainy.
- Serving Ideas: Top with cinnamon, sugar-free syrup, or a few berries (WW/SW-friendly).
8. Tips & FAQs (SEO-Optimized)
Why did my pudding turn grainy?
The heat was too high. Keep the steam on low to maintain silky texture.
Can I use regular milk?
Yes—use skim milk for WW or light milk for SW. Almond milk keeps it keto and low-carb.
Can I make this sweeter?
Add ½–1 tbsp extra sweetener or a few drops of liquid stevia.
Is this pudding high in protein?
Yes—each serving is naturally protein-rich from the eggs. You can even whisk in 1 tbsp unflavored whey.
Can I bake instead of steam?
Yes—bake at 160°C (325°F) in a water bath for 20–25 minutes.
