How Do You Make Pudding Thicker For Pie Filling?

There are a variety of ways you can choose to thicken your pie filling, unfortunately, not all of them are low in carbs. For this low carb Chocolate Pudding Pie recipe, I created a custard-like chocolatey filling that I thickened even more with the addition of Xanthan Gum. It is naturally low in carbs and works just as well as cornstarch or flour to thicken pie filling.

How To Make Chocolate Pudding Pie

Why Is My Chocolate Pudding Pie Runny?

A runny chocolate pudding pie can be disappointing, but there are a few common reasons why this might happen. Here are some of the potential causes and solutions:

Insufficient Thickening Agent- Pudding relies on a thickening agent to achieve the desired consistency. If you didn’t use enough of the Xanthan gum, the pudding may not have thickened adequately. To fix this, you can try adding a bit more and whisk until it is fully incorporated and thickened.Not Chilled Long Enough- Pudding pies need time to set and firm up in the refrigerator. If you didn’t allow the pie enough time to chill and set, it might still be runny when you try to slice it. Make sure to follow the recommended chilling time in your recipe, usually a few hours or more.Recipe Ratios- The ratios of liquid to thickening agent in your recipe might be off, leading to a runny filling. Make sure to follow the recommended measurements and proportions accurately.

Variations

Creating variations of your low-carb chocolate pudding pie can be a fun way to experiment with flavors and textures while still staying within your dietary goals. Here are some creative variations to consider:

Peanut Butter- Swirl natural peanut butter into the chocolate pudding before pouring it into the crust. Top with a layer of whipped cream and chopped peanuts for added crunch.Mint- Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the pudding mixture for a refreshing minty twist. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped sugar-free chocolate or cacao nibs.Raspberry- Layer fresh raspberries on the bottom of the crust before adding the chocolate pudding. The tartness of the raspberries complements the sweetness of the chocolate.

What To Serve With It

Pairing your low carb chocolate pudding pie with complementary accompaniments can enhance your dessert experience. Here are some ideas for what to serve with it:

Whipped Cream- A classic choice, a dollop of freshly whipped heavy cream adds a creamy and luxurious element that balances the richness of the chocolate pudding pie.Berries- Fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries are excellent low-carb options that add a burst of natural sweetness and a refreshing contrast to the richness of the pie.Nuts- A handful of chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts, provides a satisfying crunch and texture that complements the smooth pudding.Keto Ice Cream- If you’re looking to indulge further, consider serving a small scoop of low-carb vanilla or chocolate ice cream alongside the pie for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Does Chocolate Pudding Pie Need To Be Refrigerated?

Yes, chocolate pudding pie needs to be refrigerated. Because chocolate pudding pie contains dairy and other perishable ingredients, it is important to store it in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth and maintain its freshness and safety. This delicious low carb pie recipe can last for 2-3 days when stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

Can You Freeze It?

If you have leftovers or want to store the pie for a longer period, you can freeze it. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Label it with the date to keep track of its freshness. Frozen chocolate pudding pie can be stored for several weeks.
