Currently 6 days into clean keto and I’m feeling full and satisfied despite a significant calorie reduction to the usual.
I’ve got my emergency Keto chocolate stash during this program (check out my delicious chocolate experiment) but also wanted to create something that was more of a dessert treat. A summery bowl to enjoy & In the case of this morning, it was Breakfast.
Disclaimer: The original Non-Keto deliciously healthy recipe that I was inspired to modify is found in Helen Padarin & Pete Evans “The Complete Gut Health Cookbook”
Presenting: The Keto Version Chocolate Pud with spearmint whipped coconut cream…
Ingredients (Makes 4 – you’ll want many & you’ll want to share with the family!)
- Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon of vanilla – or ½ vanilla pod (seeds scraped out)
- 400ml of coconut milk or cream
- 2 level tablespoons of cacao
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of gelatine (always grass/pasture fed). Set for 10 minutes in 2 tablespoons of water before mixing into recipe to allow gelatin to bloom.
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, heat the cacao, vanilla, coconut cream, cinnamon & xylitol on low heat. Whisk ingredients together. Once simmering, add in the gelatine. Continue the whisk.

- 1 hours later, your treat is ready! It’s that simple.
