Keto Dessert Ideas: 9 Puddings You Won't Believe Are Low-Carb!

Today, we’ve got some seriously good keto-friendly desserts that will keep your carb-cravings to a minimum.

These aren’t just low carb - they’re full of flavour and good fats to keep you in ketosis. And the best part? Most of them come together nice and quickly!

From classic puds with a low-carb twist to quick mug cakes for those emergency sweet cravings, we’ve got something for every keto sweet tooth. 

Let’s get started with our top keto pudding picks.

Want a keto version of a classic Brit pud? This bread and butter pudding’s a real treat that will have you remembering your nans during the Summer holidays.

Heylo Lighter White bread makes the perfect low-carb base. 

Here’s how to make it:

1. Preheat your oven to 180C.

2. Dry 8 buttered slices of Heylo Lighter White for 10 minutes.

3. Mix milk, eggs, vanilla whey protein, Nick’s low sugar syrup, and your favourite spices in a mixing bowl.

4. Layer bread in a greased dish, pour over the mixture. Give it a gentle squash.

5. Cover with foil, bake for 40 minutes.

6. Uncover, drizzle more syrup, bake another 10 minutes.

It’s tasty comfort food without the carb crash, and the protein powder’s clever addition adds flavour and keeps you full.

Want to jazz it up? Try adding nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon zest, toasted coconut or keto chocolate chunks.

This pud’s not just for one it reheats well and freezes too. Perfect for batch cooking :)

This low carb blackberry crumble is a perfect example of low carb desserts that are a real treat!

Here’s how to make it:

1. Mix 3 blitzed slices of Heylo Lighter White, 30g Heylo Honeycomb Granola, 30g butter and half your sweetener for the crumble top.

2. Pop 100g blackberries in two ramekins, sprinkle with remaining sweetener.

3. Add crumble topping to berries.

4. Bake at 180C for 15 mins or 7 mins in an air fryer for a quick fix.

It’s so easy and only 7g carbs per serving.

Blackberries are the star here - naturally sweet, low-carb and packed with antioxidants and fibre.

The Heylo keto bread and granola mix gives a proper crunch, and adds healthy fats and protein too.

Want to jazz it up? Chuck in some lemon zest for extra zing. Or swap blackberries for raspberries if that’s your thing.

Cranachan with a twist! This Scottish dessert gets a low-carb makeover that’ll make your taste buds dance.

Let’s make this easy keto treat in a minute. We’re talking 5-10 minutes max and you’re done. Perfect for those “I need something sweet NOW” moments.

Here’s the deal: grab a blob of clotted cream and mix it with some whipped cream. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and you’re in flavour town.

Now, to the real star of the show - our own Honeycomb granola. 

Our secret weapon, replacing those carb-heavy oats in the traditional recipe. This stuff gives you all the crunch and sweetness you need, without the carb overload.

Add a handful of raspberries (save a few for garnishing your masterpiece), and you’re almost there. Mix it all up in a bowl, then pour into your favourite glass or bowl. Sprinkle the remaining raspberries and granola on top for that 'pro' look.

And there you have it - a low carb Cranachan that’s big on flavour, small on carbs (4g per serving). Who says keto desserts can’t be a bit posh?

Oh, and if you’re feeling naughty, a wee dram of whisky wouldn’t go amiss. We won’t tell if you don’t!

Let’s talk mug cakes. Specifically, a raspberry one that’ll blow your mind without blowing your ketosis.

This little beauty is quick as a flash - we’re talking 5-10 minutes from “I fancy something sweet” to “Mmm, that hit the spot”. Perfect for those late night cravings or when you need a breakfast on the go.

Here’s the clever bit: we’re using our Lighter White Loaf as the base.

Blitz a couple of slices into crumbs. Then, whisk together an egg, a blob of creme fraiche (or a splash of milk if you prefer), a few drops of vanilla and some erythritol sweetener. Add your bread crumbs and mix it all up.

Add raspberries, and pour it all into a mug, zap it in the microwave for 2 minutes and voila! A warm, fluffy cake that’s high in protein and low in carbs. 4g of carbs per serving.

Impress your family and colleagues with your microwave magic. This recipe can also be adapted to make a classic chocolate cake version.

Top with a bit more creme fraiche and a drizzle of low sugar fibre syrup if you’re feeling fancy.

Can I interest you in a quick keto treat that’s part breakfast muffin, part dessert? 

Let me introduce you to our Blueberry and Granola Mug Cake. 

This one combines Heylo’s Honeycomb granola with our low carb white bread to make a dessert that’s big on flavour, low on carbs. 5.5g per serving. Not bad, eh?

Here’s how to make it in a minute:

1. Grab two slices of our Lighter White loaf and blitz into crumbs. 
2. Add a beaten egg, a blob of cream or yoghurt (your choice), a spoonful of erythritol and a few drops of vanilla essence.
3. Add blueberries and mix it all up in a bowl.
4. Line the bottom of your mug with a circle of baking paper (future you will thank you for this). 
5. Add a tablespoon of our Honeycomb granola then pour in the cake mix.
6. Zap in the microwave for 2 minutes then let it sit for another minute. 
7. Top with a dollop of cream, yoghurt or creme fraiche. Go on, treat yourself!

There you have it - a low carb mug cake in 10 minutes. Perfect!

Love pancakes but not the carbs? I’ve got just the ticket. These American style keto pancakes will satisfy your breakfast cravings without blowing your diet. And at only 3g carbs per serving, they’re a treat.

Again, we’re using our Lighter White bread as the base. 

1. Blitz two slices into crumbs (crusts off if you want a paler colour).
2. Whisk together an egg, a splash of milk (about 50ml), a dessertspoon of sweetener and a pinch of baking powder. 
3. Add in your bread crumbs and you have a thick cake batter. Want it smoother? Chuck it all in a blender.
4. Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick pan (or use oil if you prefer).
5. Fry your batter on medium-high heat. Flip halfway through and you’re golden. Literally.
   
   

Top with whatever you like (Just keep it low-carb!). We went for berries, a dollop of creme fraiche and a drizzle of low sugar syrup. But get creative!

These aren’t just for dessert, you know. They make a great breakfast too. 

Meet our Sweet Fluffy Pancakes or Sturdy Waffles. They’re so good you’ll forget they’re keto friendly.

We’re using cream cheese as our secret ingredient. Full fat, mind you. None of that low fat nonsense!

To make our batter, add 8 ounces of cream cheese to a blender with 8 eggs. Add a splash of vanilla extract if you fancy. Then add a teaspoon of baking powder for that all important fluff.

Now, here’s where you get to choose your own variation. Want to keep it keto? Go for 40g of coconut flour. Prefer a nutty flavour? Swap it for 70g of almond flour. Either way you win.

Blitz it all up until it’s smoother than a cat on velvet. Then you have two options:

1. Spoon into your waffle maker for crispy waffles that will hold up to whatever toppings you throw at them.

2. Melt some butter in a pan and make pancakes. Remember, low and slow is the way to go here. Let them get nice and golden.

3. Top with whipped cream and berries.

So there you have it. Pancakes or waffles that will satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your keto diet.

Prepare to be blown away by our Low Carb Vanilla Loaf Cake. It’s like a pound cake, but without the pound of guilt afterwards.

1. Blitz up two cups of our low-carb white bread into crumbs. It’s tasty, filling and perfect for keto diets. Add a couple of tablespoons of coconut flour and you’re in business.
2. Add 5 Medium Eggs, 3/4 cup of erythritol, whipping cream, and vanilla extract and whip it together.
3. Add the juice and zest of a lemon for that wow factor.
4. Bake for about an hour at 180C. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have you salivating.

This serves six but we won’t judge if you sneak an extra slice for yourself! It’s perfect for breakfast (because who says cake can’t be breakfast?) or as a dessert topped with some sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries.

Want a pud that’s vegan, keto-friendly and doesn’t have the consistency of cardboard? Well say hello to our Vegan Keto Bread and Butter Pudding. It’s comfort food with a conscience and it’s easy peasy to rustle up!

3. Mix 30g vanilla vegan protein powder with almond milk and cornflour in a warm pan.
4. Slowly add 30g low sugar syrup and some liquid coconut oil.
5. Pour this mix over your bread in a greased dish. Give it a gentle press.
