Hard Boiled Egg Pudding
I know this Hard Boiled Egg Pudding recipe sounds crazy, but you must try it!
I first wrote this recipe back in 2011 when we first adopted 2 baby boys and my husband lost his job. Times were tough and money was very tight.
My son Kai hated eggs as a toddler, but eggs are one of the cheapest keto foods and needed to be one of our staples for food. I devised this recipe to sneak some eggs into his breakfasts. He loves it! To think, hard boiled eggs made into a pudding! Yes, I am crazy but it is a great way to get in protein without using protein powders!
This protein pudding recipe is in my book The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse cookbook and it is in the meal plans which have helped so many people stick to this dairy free keto lifestyle and enjoy the food!
“Hi Maria! That chocolate breakfast pudding made with 10 hard boiled eggs. I don’t know what parallel universe Maria was living in when she concocted that recipe, but it is magically, life-changingly amazing. My husband cannot believe that 10 HB eggs turned into such deliciousness. Neither can I. I was skeptical right up to the last minute. This will be a staple in our house from now on! Thanks, Maria!”
If you do not like chocolate and would prefer a French Toast Protein Pudding, I have that recipe in Easy Dairy Free Ketogenic Recipes cookbook!

I use my Vitamix daily! No lie. I use it for everything. I make my sauces in it, salad dressings (my Ranch is the best!), my keto soups that I want pureed, and it makes my hard boiled egg pudding into the creamiest chocolate mousse!
Yes, a Vitamix is a pricy gift, but I went through a cheap blender almost every year. My Vitamix has lasted 10 years! It is good investment in my mind!

TIP OF THE DAY: I often hear that people do not like the sulphur smell of the eggs. So here is a great tip! Jacques Pepin, the amazing French chef, suggests putting boiled eggs immediately into ice water after cooking, and leaving them there for 30 minutes to prevent the sulphuric odor.
I made my keto chocolate pudding for Halle Berry and she absolutely loved it! She took all the leftovers!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Hey Maria!
I just had to share my results…So in the beginning of the year I decided to try the meal plan provided in 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse, mainly so I didn’t have to come up with a weekly menu or grocery list. I wasn’t thinking that I would see much weight change. BOY WAS I WRONG! Two weeks into the meal plan weight started melting off. I started the 30 Day Cleanse snuggly fitting into a size 6. By the time the 30 days were over I was loosely fitting into a size 4. My mind was blown away. I was feeling better every day. I finally felt in control instead of food controlIng me. I was so excited, I didn’t want to stop with just the cleanse so I continued with the meal plan provided in Easy Dairy Free Ketogenic Cookbook. Again, MIND BLOWN. I’m now fitting into size 2…..WHAAAAAT?!?!?!?
I’m super passionate about this lifestyle (not just KETO, but the supplements and fitness as well) My goal is to be a KETO Coach one day. You and Craig have helped me change from the inside out…Thank you! Thank! Thank you! You are both such an inspiration!”

I was pleasantly surprised how amazing this pudding was. I suggest letting it set in fridge overnight. It looses the egg taste then. My family loves it. I make it about once a month. Nice to have a sweet treat to eat. I also have put whipped cream on it to fancy it up a bit for a fun treat.
Thanks!
I’m going to try that boiled egg pudding today. I need the extra protein.
Hope you like it! 🙂
Just made this and served it to my son and daughter in law- they had no idea it was made from eggs!
Awesome!
This is definitely sorcery! Can’t wait to try it. Thank you, Maria!
Thanks!
I must say this is very intriguing! How many 1/2 Cup servings does it make??
5. 🙂
I can’t seem to get enough protein in my meals, so this pudding is something I will be trying right away.
Hope you like it! 🙂
How many servings does this make?
5. 🙂
Been making this for a couple years and love switching up the flavor profiles with extracts and spices…Thanks for sharing this again Maria!! Love it!
Thanks!
Do you leave out the cocoa powder? Do you replace with anything else? Just curious
I am wondering if I can make just 1/2 a recipe? I admit being nervous about it being “ too eggy” and right now you can only buy one dozen eggs at a time where we live!
That will work. Just let it cool overnight in the fridge and it will be amazing! 🙂
I have already been making this (similar) recipe from your Art of Healthy Eating, Kids cookbook, p. 117. Protein pudding. It is FABULOUS!!!!!!!
Thanks!
How many serves does this make? It shows “Serves: ½ cup” but that appears to be the serving size rather than the total serves that the recipe makes.
5 total. 🙂
To prepare this pudding for someone who can’t eat coconut but doesn’t need to be dairy-free, could I substitute coconut milk with heavy cream? Or what else would you suggest? And in the same amount or changing it (if so, how much?), please? Thank you!
Yes, that will work. Same amount. It would be a bit thicker and higher in fat. You could just thing out cream until it is like milk. 🙂
I absolutely loved this and so did my daughter! Thank you so much for your recipes!! I cherish your cookbooks! 🥰
Awesome!! Thanks!
Is it supposed to be thick right away or does it solidify at some point? 😬
It solidifies in fridge when it cools. Make sure to cool overnight. 🙂
My little guy is allergic to coconut, among other things. Could I use regular milk in this? He is also allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, avocados, and sunflower seeds so I can’t use nut milks. Thanks for your thoughts!
I would use heavy cream thinned out with a bit of water (much lower in carbs and sugar).
That is a great idea, thank you!
Thanks!
Could
I use almond milk?
It would be a bit thin. You could try heavy cream if you can have dairy.
How can I make this carnivore (replacing the coconut milk)?
If not dairy sensitive, you can sub the coconut milk for some heavy cream thinned out with a little water. Don’t know a good sub for the cocoa though.
Can you use coconut cream
Instead of coconut milk?
Yes, if it is a low sugar one (many have added carbs).
I made it last night in my Vitamix ( used heavy cream).
Looked smooth and creamy.
This morning it’s not set up like pudding, more like a thin milkshake!
Tastes great..
But why???
What kind of coconut milk did you use? From a can?
I didn’t use coconut, I used organic heavy cream
Did you use all ten hard boiled eggs? It should be quite thick. I’ve used nut milks and it’s come out like pudding. ??
Yes, as the recipe states. Almond milks aren’t as thick as coconut milk in the can.
Are you freaking kidding me? My family wants this in the fridge all the time. Love it – add Keto whipped cream and raspberries – yummy!!
Thank you!
Brilliant! I just have to leave a comment. My teenage, athletic son is all about protein smoothies. He makes them with bananas, maple syrup, protein powders, etc. He is also a fan of the flavored yogurts you can get in the stores. I’ve tried to get him to decrease his carb/sugar intake with not much luck. He loves this!! If he wants a smoothie, he thins it out with more coconut milk. If he wants “yogurt” he lets it thicken. Awesome!
Also, a time saver with the hard boiled eggs………….
If you have an instant pot:
1. Crack the 10 eggs into a dish that will fit inside your instant pot. (I use a 1.75 quart pyrex dish)
2. Pour 1 cup cold water into liner of instant pot with trivet.
3. Carefully place dish with cracked eggs on top of trivet. Close lid and pressure cook at High pressure for 5 min plus an additional 9 minutes of natural release.
4. Remove carefully. Chop with knife and use for puddings, egg salad, etc. No ice-bath, no peeling!!
(For more specific instructions go to www. pressurecookrecipes.com, Instant pot Kathy’s Egg loaf)
I keep an “egg loaf” in the refrig and my son can make his smoothies whenever he wants – easy peasy!
Awesome!! Thanks!
I did it this way for the pudding and I use this method for making egg salad, too. Pudding is fantastic!
Thanks!
Watched you be interviewed on CarnivoreRX mentioning this recipe this afternoon. Made the pudding tonight. Delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!
Will subbing almond milk for the coconut milk work?
It won’t be as thick, probably more like a shake than pudding. 🙂
We don’t like to use swerve due to gut issues so we used stevia drops and heavy cream, not sure if that is that contributed or it was that we used to make homemade pudding before going keto. Something was off…it was chalky, flavor was fine. We may try again…I hope we can make it work, maybe milk instead of cream, we use hard-broiled eggs in recipes all the time so I don’t think that is an issue. Love the concept….will have to work with it! Thanks 🙂
Even with all the reviews I was still skeptical, especially with how ‘eggy’ it smelled as I poured it into the glass jars last night. Pulled it out this morning and oh.my.gosh. Divine! My 8 year old, who recently declared she hates eggs, absolutely devoured this. Thank you, Maria!
Awesome! Thanks!
So awesome. I halved the recipe as I was reluctant about using so many eggs. In doing so, I accidentally added the full quantity of raw cacao powder. Oops. I must say, it tastes soooo delicious. I also used a combination of pure pouring cream and coconut milk. Tastes amazing. I can’t wait until it is set. 🤤
Thanks!
In order to make this a little lower in calories do you think you can just use 10 egg whites and 5 yolks? So basically half the yolks? Or do you think that would destroy the recipe?
Not sure if that will work or not. Let me know if you try it. You can also use a coconut milk with less fat if it doesn’t have added sugar. 🙂
This is really good! How many days will this last in the fridge? 🙂
Thanks! I would say 3-4 days or so.
what kind of coconut milk do you use? Can you show a snapshot of the nutrition amounts that appear on the back. I’m not finding what I think I should use. Thanks
I use a can like this.

Wow! I was very skeptical as this was my second attempt, but it turned out I didn’t blend the mixture nearly enough that first time. This time I blended, stirred, and blended some more still and it turned out silky and creamy. You’re a genius, Maria Emmerich! Thank you!
Thanks!
Can you cut this into 5ths? I’m the only one who would eat this so I want to make small amounts
Yes, that will work. 🙂
