3 Health Benefits of Salted Caramel Pudding

#1: Promotes Brain Function

Research shows that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the exogenous ketone powder in this recipe,  increases neurotransmitter release in your brain, which may increase brain function.

Your body naturally increases BHB after a prolonged fast or intense exercise, but you can also increase it with supplementation[*].

BHB works by enhancing the function of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which plays an essential role in learning and memory[*]

In fact, low levels of BNF are related to neurological diseases like Parkinson and Alzheimer’s disease. And researchers theorize that increasing BDNF could be useful for the prevention and management of these diseases[*].

#2: Supports Joint Health

Gelatin is made from collagen protein, the main structural protein in your connective tissue.

Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue on the surface of your joints. It’s responsible for the movement of your joints and overall joint health.

In one study, researchers gave athletes collagen supplements to see if it would impact joint pain and deterioration by enhancing the health of their cartilage tissue.

After 24 weeks of supplementation, the athletes had a significant reduction in joint pain[*].

#3: Combats Inflammation

Butyrate, a short chain fatty acid found in butter, may be a key nutrient for decreasing inflammation in your gut. Research shows that when people with Crohn’s disease take butyrate orally the inflammation in their colon decreases significantly[*].

BHB can also inhibit an immune protein compound called NLRP3 inflammasome.

Inflammasomes are responsible for increasing inflammation in your body and are involved in many inflammatory diseases, making BHB a possible anti-inflammatory agent[*].

Salted Caramel Pudding

Start by melting your grass-fed butter in a saucepan at medium heat, then add in monk fruit and let it simmer. Monk fruit can burn, so keep your eye on it.

If you’re using unsalted butter remember to add in a touch of sea salt to balance the flavor — you won’t regret it.

Whisk in some heavy cream, and then slowly add in your unsweetened milk of choice (choose whole cow’s milk if you like your pudding extra creamy).

In a small bowl whisk gelatin and water together, then add it to your pudding mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

If you’re a vanilla bean fan, you can add in some pure vanilla extract for a touch of vanilla flavor.

Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour to let it set. Then, top with coconut flakes, whipped cream, or another small pinch of crunchy sea salt.

One of the best parts about pudding recipes is that they stay fresh in your refrigerator for days. Store in small containers or mason jars to enjoy later.

If you’ve been craving something sweet and creamy — look no further. This recipe is rich and satisfying on its own, but if you really want to kick it up a notch, add it to a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream.

Serve cool or at room temperature.
