Keto Thanksgiving Pumpkin Individual Pudding cakes

It's pumpkin season, and what better dessert to prepare than these festive pudding cakes? A pudding cake looks like a simple cake on the outside but has a super moist center, similar to a pudding. This sweet treat requires a handful of ingredients and a set of basic culinary skills. It is the perfect addition to your Keto Thanksgiving Menu.

What ramekin size can you use?

You can use any ramekin as long as it is oven-proof. We are using 5-inch (12 cm) wide ceramic ramekins for this recipe, but a mini cast iron pan would work too. You can also make this low-carb dessert in a large casserole if you need to serve many people.

Can you bake these cakes without a water bath?

Baking the cakes in a water bath is essential to prevent them from drying. This method cooks the pudding cakes using the steam from the evaporating water, resulting in an evenly baked and properly risen dessert.

Are these pudding cakes gluten-free?

Don't you love it when amazing Keto Thanksgiving desserts are gluten-free? We do too. These cakes are completely flourless. They are prepared using pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, sweetener, and flavorings. While this recipe is safe for people allergic to gluten, nuts, and seeds, it isn't safe for those allergic to dairy, sweeteners, or eggs.

Serving Suggestions:

We like to keep our Keto Thanksgiving recipes effortless, even in presentation. You can keep it simple by dusting some powdered sweetener on top right before serving. Some other topping options include whipped cream, a Keto crumb, or sliced nuts.
