Ingredients
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet sugar-free instant pudding mix (cheesecake, vanilla, or chocolate)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cold water (add gradually)
- Optional toppings: Reddi Whip, chopped strawberries, sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, pudding mix, heavy cream, and half of the water.
Use a hand mixer on medium speed to blend until smooth and thick, about 2–3 minutes.
2️⃣ Adjust Consistency
Slowly add the remaining water a little at a time, mixing between additions.
Stop when the texture reaches a thick but spoonable pudding consistency.
⚠️ Tip: Add water slowly to avoid splashes and to control the thickness of the pudding.
3️⃣ Portion and Chill
Divide the mixture into 6 small dessert cups or ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and chill.
4️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Top with Reddi Whip and 1 chopped strawberry for a slightly sweet, refreshing balance.
Each cup (with topping) is about 6 net carbs—totally worth it.
Tips for Creamy Low Carb Pudding
✔️ Soften your cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.
✔️ Use cold water for best results with instant pudding mix.

✔️ Add texture with chopped pecans, keto granola, or shaved sugar-free chocolate.
Storage & Meal Prep
- Fridge: Store in sealed jars or containers for up to 5 days.
