I know it’s Monday, which usually means a new low carb meatball recipe over here on IBIH, but this week we’re making an exception! If you take a look at the photo to the left and see what I’m talking about, I’m pretty sure you won’t mind at all!
When Carol over at Ditch the Wheat asked if I was interested in a guest post, I jumped on the chance (because I’m super smart like that.)
You’ve probably heard of Carol, since she’s a bit of a gluten free rock star in the blogging world. If you haven’t heard of her then you are in for a treat, and I’m excited to be able to introduce you to her amazing blog Ditch The Wheat!
Carol’s creative recipes are not only low carb and gluten free, but also dairy free! From a die hard cheese and cream lover, I can promise you that’s not easy to accomplish!
As if her creative recipes (she made a meat bagel people! A bagel…made of meat. Respect.) weren’t enough, her photography is lovely and always leaves me hungry (OK that’s not hard to do as we all know, but really, she’s good!) If you’re not already convinced of that by this recipe, then you MUST go drool over her Coconut Flour Pancakes and Double Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Cookies ASAP!

“This recipe for chilled pumpkin pudding isn’t truly a “pudding” it’s more a quick way to make a pudding for a snack or dessert. Coconut cream, that you can easily get when you refrigerate a can of coconut milk, makes a creamy dense treat. In the past I have made chocolate pudding from it, almond butter pudding, and this time I tried a fall inspired recipe of pumpkin pie pudding.
The results were amazing and the little bit of salt you add in the recipe makes the flavours “pop”! At least this is a pudding you can make within minutes. I hope you like it and enjoy it before fall is over.

An easy low carb and Paleo Pumpkin Pudding Recipe that uses coconut cream as it’s base. A guest post from Ditch the Wheat.
Ingredients
For the pudding:
- 1/2 cup canned coconut cream

Thanks again for guest posting Carol! It’s been a pleasure having you here at IBIH, and I can’t wait to try this recipe out for myself!
Jean says
Sad. was more like a smoothie than a pudding.
Now I have too many cans of coconut cream
At least I tried this the night before rather than the day of
Katy says
Agreed! This isn’t a pudding at all. You could drink it! Sad.
Jo says
Could I use erythritol instead of molasses, or a combination of erythritol and molasses? I know the molasses would taste fabulous, but I’m trying to cut the carbs and the calories.
Could I use regular cream in place of the coconut cream in the pudding recipe?
Jennifer says
Hi,
Is your nutrition info 6 grams net carbs with the Stevia option? If so, it would be nice if that was noted. 1 Tbsp of real maple syrup has 13 grams of net carbs, so this one serving would be way higher in carbs if made that way.
Also, can you substitute regular whipping cream for the coconut milk and get good results?
Barbara Balkin says
This is going to be perfect to bring to dinner next week. My daughter has just started her gluten’free/dairy-free living and with this, she won’t miss pie!! Thank you!
Eliana Salamanca says
On this dessert, you don’t need to add eggs, like the Spanish flan, to order to get the consistency? How is going to get it, just keeping on the refrigerator?
Great idea for the season
Thank you
joannabanana21 says
perfect timing. i just picked up a can of pumpkin from the store. i had been craving it even since i made pumpkin pie at thanksgiving. i do have some Aroy D coconut cream (same brand as recipe) but the past 3 boxes i bought have not made whipped cream at all. i put them in the fridge overnight and it’s still liquid when i take out the box. guess i need to find another brand to use because i’ve been dying to make coconut whipped cream. just hasn’t happened yet!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’ve never made coconut cream whipped cream either Joanna! Trader Joes has a coconut cream that is pretty solid and would probably work perfectly if you’re looking for another brand to try. Hope you can make it work soon!
Sandee says
Lovely. Did ypu use pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin purée?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sandee sorry I missed this comment – I’m assuming Carol used the canned pumpkin puree since the pie filling usually has added sugar. Hope that helps! Enjoy!
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
How easy and elegant!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Two perfect words to describe this recipe – thanks for taking time to comment Sylvie!
Alex says
Just made this tonight! It is VERY delish!! I did how ever make the cream on top from heavy cream though. I’m still getting used using coconut in recipes, and I liked the flavor of the regular cream with the pudding! :)
Thanks for this recipe, I have the worst sweet tooth and I will definitely make this more in the future!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I like that idea too Alex – since I’m not dairy free (though I probably should be) the contrast of the real whipped cream with the pudding sounds delicious! I love that Carol gave us a diary free cream option though!!
