Bread:
Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix – Makes the perfect chewy, airy keto bread base! You will not need the whole loaf — just 10 slices — so use leftovers for keto grilled cheese or keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich.Unsweetened Almond Milk – You can also make homemade almond milk or use your favorite keto milk substitute.Eggs – Use whole, large eggs. I haven’t tested egg substitutes, such as flax eggs, but let me know how it goes if you try that out.Butter – I use grass-fed butter, but any unsalted variety will work. Coconut oil should also work, but I prefer the flavor of butter.
Custard:
Heavy Cream – Adds silky and rich texture to the custard mixture. Feel free to sub full-fat canned coconut milk instead.Eggs – These are needed for the bread above, plus help the finished pudding hold together.Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – For 0g net carbs, this sweetener adds just-like-sugar taste to this iconic dish. In particular, it dissolves well, so the custard has no gritty texture. You can try a different sugar substitute if you must, but with other brands powdered might work best and the result may crystallize.Butter – Adds richness to the custard. Coconut oil may work as a substitute, but I haven’t tried it to confirm.Vanilla Extract – You could also try almond extract here.Cinnamon – For classic flavor!Sugar-Free Dried Cranberries – Optional, but if you like raisins in bread pudding, these make a good low carb alternative.
