How to Make It

Whisk 4 egg yolks, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tbsp cacao powder in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly for 3–5 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon (around 75°C / 167°F). Remove from heat and chill for 10 minutes to set.

Why This Works (The Simple Science)

This pudding doesn’t rely on starch, flour, or artificial thickeners.

Instead, it uses egg yolks—nature’s built-in thickening system.

Egg yolks act like a natural “glue,” binding fats and liquids into a smooth, creamy texture. That’s what gives this pudding its rich, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.

Even better, the high-quality animal fats help your body feel full faster and stay energized. Unlike sugary desserts that spike your energy and cause crashes, this recipe supports fat burning and stable energy—making it perfect for carnivore, animal-based, and keto diets.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Add egg yolks and cacao powder into a saucepan before turning on the heat.
Whisk until completely smooth.

2. Add the Cream

Slowly pour in the cream while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

3. Low & Slow Cooking

Turn heat to low and stir constantly.
Do not let it boil—this is the key to avoiding an eggy taste.

If it coats the back smoothly, it’s ready.

5. Chill & Enjoy

Pour into a bowl.
Enjoy warm or chill for 10 minutes for a thicker pudding texture.
