This is definitely more low carb than keto, but it's a fantastic alternative to a standard Christmas Pudding from the supermarket.
Makes 6 portions - each portion contains:
278 Calories / 10.7g Carbs / 7.3g Protein / 22.3g Protein

Ingredients
50g Ground Almonds
20g Coconut Flour
40g Shredded Beef Suet
40g Erythritol or 10-15g Truvia / Natvia / Pure Via Sweetener
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Orange Zest
1 tbsp Lemon Zest
10g Cocoa Powder
100g Chopped Mixed Nuts (we used pecans and walnuts)
4 tsp Mixed Spice
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
40ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
100g Cooked Mixed Berries (you could also use our Mixed Berry Jam)
60g Uncooked Baking Apple
40g Dates, soaked in 30ml Boiling Water for 12 hours
1.5 tsp Lemon Essence
1.5 tsp Orange Essence
5g Butter / Oil for greasing
Directions
Mix together all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and all of the wet ingredients (including the fruit) in another. Give both bowls a good mix and then add all of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
At this point, check that you're happy with the sweetness and add more if needed.
Now prepare the pudding bowl. Lightly grease the bowl and line it with greaseproof baking paper.
Transfer your pudding mix into the bowl and gently compact it in.
Double fold a sheet of greaseproof paper and use an elastic band to hold it in place. You want this paper to completely cover the top of the bowl - do not allow any water to get inside.
Now, tie a piece of string around the bowl to secure the paper in place.
You will need a saucepan that the bowl can sit inside, completely covered. Place the bowl inside and fill the pan with boiling water until the water reaches the mid point.
Run a tea towel under the tap unti it is completely wet and then wring any excess water out. Drape this over the pudding bowl - it's ok if it drapes into the water.
Pop the lid on the saucepan and gently simmer (not boiling) for 1 hour. Set a timer for an hour, but set another timer to go off every 15 minutes. At these intervals, check the water level to ensure that it isn't bubbling over or gone too cold.
Either serve immediately or allow it to cool in the saucepan. This can be microwaved for about 2 minutes if you've made one large pudding, or 30 seconds for a single portion.

Here’s what Michele says about storing:
“I made mine on Thursday (three days ago), I’m cooking it today and freezing it later. I’ll pull it out on Christmas Eve and let it defrost naturally and then just microwave it.”
Will this keep till Fri if I make today
