I’ve been experimenting with trying to make a Specific Carbohydrate Diet pudding for a while now. Since cornstarch isn’t allowed, it’s hard to get pudding to thicken the right way. I’m happy to say this lime pudding came out great!

Since the weather has been so warm lately, I decided to freeze some into pudding pops, which turned out to be a nice, refreshing treat.

To thicken the pudding I used eggs, which really makes this a soft custard. There are a couple of important things to remember when combing eggs with hot milk (coconut milk in this case) –

Temper the eggs by slowing adding the milk to the beaten egss, while whisking. This keeps the eggs from scrambling in the liquid and creating lumps.
Patience: Stir the mixure over medium-low heat until it thickens. Cooking too fast will creat lumps and can burn the mik.

You can also easily make a lemon pudding by substituting lemon juice for the lime.

I cannot have honey. Can I substitute Stevia, or any other suggestion?

  I only use honey for cooking and it’s the only SCD-allowed sweetener, but I would say for non-SCD maple syrup would be the closest substitute. I have never cooked with stevia before but I know it’s sweeter than honey. You could try to find some custard or pudding recipes that use stevia to get the proportions.
