Keto Lemon Pudding Made With Real Lemon Peel

 

Keto Lemon Pudding Without Lemon Extract

There’s nothing quite as refreshing as the bold, zesty flavor of lemon, especially in the summertime. This Keto Lemon Pudding is unlike any you’ve had before, because all the flavor comes straight from nature: real lemon peel, finely ground to release its oils and natural citrus aroma. No artificial lemon flavoring needed here!

I blend one full cup of freshly ground lemon peel in a food processor, then simmer it in a saucepan with one can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and ¼ cup of Truvia (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener). Once the flavors have combined and the sweetener has dissolved, I stir in 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum to thicken. Occasionally, I’ll add an egg to enrich the pudding and make it even more satisfying.

Once the pudding is smooth and thickened, I remove it from the heat and let it cool. As it rests, it continues to set into a luscious, spoonable dessert. For an elegant finish, I serve each portion topped with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint.

Why Use Real Lemon Peel?

Lemon peel is often discarded, but it’s the most nutrient-rich part of the fruit. It contains:

Vitamin C – to support your immune system and brighten your skin

Calcium, magnesium, and potassium – essential minerals for metabolic health

Dietary fiber – to support digestion and blood sugar balance

D-limonene and polyphenols – potent plant compounds that may aid in detoxification and support liver health

Best of all, lemon peel contains zero sugar and very few carbs, making it ideal for keto desserts that don’t skimp on flavor or nutrition.

Bonus: Make It Into a Keto Lemon Pie

This pudding isn’t just for bowls and spoons—it also makes a delicious pie filling! Pour the warm pudding into a pre-baked keto pie crust (made with almond flour or coconut flour) and chill until set. Top with whipped coconut cream and a sprinkle of grated lemon peel or a few raspberries for a stunning presentation.

Enjoy the brightness of lemon—naturally. Whether you’re making a cool cup of pudding or a refreshing no-bake pie, this recipe is proof that keto desserts can be just as vibrant, indulgent, and nourishing as anything else on the table.
