A fun low carb treat for the whole family. Creamy sugar-free chocolate pudding in deliciously crisp grain-free chocolate chip cookie cups.
So apparently I am a total hypocrite. Quite some time ago, I told you that one of the joys of being a low carb food blogger was that I never felt the need to do over-the-top, crazy desserts. I never felt the need to out-do other bloggers by stuffing cookies inside of brownies inside of cakes and then turning it into ice cream. Because it was simply enough for me to make a really good, healthy version of a classic recipe that everyone loves. I didn’t need to do two-in-one recipes or dessert mash-ups. If I could create a really good chocolate chip cookie, that was good enough for me.
But I have a guilty secret. I have to admit, I have been sucked into the fad of creating recipes that include the elements of two separate desserts. I have fallen prey to the delicious looking mash-ups I’ve seen on Pinterest and I have now embraced the trend. But it’s not what you think. It’s not about competition or the need to out-do anyone. And it’s not about SEO or enticing the search engines to send me more traffic through keyword searches. It is because it’s remarkably enjoyable. Ridiculously enjoyable, in fact. Simply put, it is fun to dream up a dessert-inside-a-dessert recipe and see if I can make it work.
And hey, I’ve got kids to please! Taking their favourite low carb chocolate pudding recipe and stuffing it into the best low carb chocolate chip cookie? That wins me some serious mom points. I will be honest, I am not above bribing my kids with delicious desserts…delicious, HEALTHY desserts that is. Score one for me!

I love a good dessert mash up, especially when it involves cookies!
madeline says
These look great! I love chocolate pudding, as well as cookies, so sounds like a good mix to me!
Anne O says
Delicious…only made the choc pudding and couldn’t get past that…so rich and delicious. I made 5 servings of pudding only and get 1.8 net carbs per serving with 25.4 fat and 5.1 protein. Works for me Carolyn…Thanks!
Carolyn says
I don’t blame you…I made too much pudding filling the first time round and it was so delightful just on its own!
Donna Hup says
These look so delicious!
Nathan says
These look amazing. I may have missed it, but are these make with granular or confectioners?
Carolyn says
If it doesn’t specify powdered, that means it’s the regular granulated.
Deborah says
any reason why i couldn’t use coconut milk in place of the almond milk and whipping cream? these look fun for my son to do with me today…
Carolyn says
It may not thicken up as much and you will have to add more xanthan gum.
Alyssa (EverydayMaven) says
I hear you Carolyn on the whole stuffing cookies into ice cream into a brownie and rolling it into a cake. lol
BUT, this looks worth it and these are two of my older son’s fav desserts. He would love this!
Sarah G says
Looks amazing!
Well, since you are into combining desserts more these days, how about coming up with a “Cronut” recipe? I so crave those every time I see them. 🙂
Ralph Fusco says
Thank God for you and all your work you do for everybody else. I am a Diabetic and I live off your menu’s! I am a 67 year old – soon not to be overweight widower who try’s to cook. I am having more fun making your stuff – it’s not hard, it.s fun and I am eating all the things I couldn’t eat before! Thanks for all you’re research and hard work – YUM!
Carolyn says
That’s wonderful to hear!
Debra Beard says
If I don’t get a mini muffin tin could I make these in a regular muffin tin? If so ow long would I cook them. They sound awesome Carolyn!!
Sharon says
I am making the little cups for a dinner to
Night should I wait to fill them closer to dinner time to fill them
Carolyn says
You can fill them now, they need time to set anyway.
Tammy says
Can i use more almond milk or coconut milk bc I am dairy free?!?
Carolyn says
Full fat coconut milk would work best.
Ned says
I’m just frustrated that when I made the cups, they fell apart as I tried to remove them from the mini-cupcake pans. I had used ghee spray on them, and nothing was sticking, it was just there seemed to be nowhere near enough binder to hold the cookies together. But my gosh were these delicious in bits and pieces on my counter. 🙂
Carolyn says
I am sorry you found that they fall apart. But they should not need any more binder. I have made cookie cups like this multiple times. What almond flour and sweetener did you use?
shug says
Carolyn, your nutrition data indicates each serving is 3.4 net carbs, yet the Swerve site indicates 1 net carb. They’ve subtracted the 7g Swerve.
Carolyn says
Not really sure how they arrive at theirs but I trust mine because I use software that pulls from the USDA database.
