Keto Strawberry Cottage Cheese Boiled Egg Pudding

Just 4 simple ingredients and 10 grams of protein in this delicious keto strawberry cottage cheese pudding recipe! This protein pudding uses hard boiled eggs plus full-fat cottage cheese for the best tasting creamy cottage cheese pudding with fresh strawberries!

Hard Boiled Egg Pudding

My good friend and fellow food blogger Maria Emmerich, is the mastermind behind this genius idea to add eggs to pudding to get her son who hated eggs when he was a toddler to get in more protein.

You can read about her story and see her hard boiled egg pudding recipe here.

I adapted from her recipe in 2020 when my daughter who also just hates eggs came home from college. I did start with the amount of hard boiled eggs Maria uses in her recipe but found the smell was a dead giveaway, at least for my family, so I started using scrambled eggs for the pudding. 

I’ve got a few flavors from chocolate pudding, to vanilla pudding and banana pudding and now this simple recipe which also includes my love for cottage cheese recipes!

The reason I used hard boiled eggs for this recipe, was because we had leftovers eggs after decorating them for Easter, but scrambled eggs can also be used. 

Even if you’re not a fan of cottage cheese or eggs, the best part is, you won’t even taste either in this keto strawberry pudding!

High Protein Recipes

​Though many online recipe creators are now using cottage cheese as the secret ingredient in recipes, you do have to check ingredients well when it comes to TikTok or Facebook and Instagram.

Many cottage cheese recipes may be high in protein, but still high in sugar or carbs. I’ve seen many on TikTok- make recipes with cottage cheese, but full of sugar like honey, maple syrup and white refined sugar.

All of those should be avoided on a low carb diet or keto diet if you are looking to balance your blood sugar and control cravings. 

​Our delicious strawberry pudding can be enjoyed for a healthy breakfast, or snack. The printable recipe card is at the bottom of this page. 

Best Cottage Cheese Brands

Full-fat cottage cheese is best for this pudding, either 4% or 2% cottage cheese will yield the best results. 

You can find many options for cottage cheese at your local grocery stores, but specific brands vary in taste and creamy texture.

I don’t recommend fat free cottage cheese because it won’t be as satisfying as full fat cottage cheese or as creamy. 

I like to use lactose free cottage cheese since my daughter and I both have lactose intolerance. The brand I like best is Green Valley organic, but Lactaid is also a great brand as is the Good Culture brand.

Just be sure to get plain cottage cheese and nothing with pineapple or other added ingredients. 

Do I need the Collagen? 

No, you can make this cottage cheese pudding without collagen but it adds more protein and has so many amazing benefits that I try to include 1-2 scoops of pure collagen every day in my coffee, tea, or smoothies.

Benefits of collagen include improved cartilage tissue, reduced joint pain, improved bone density, improved hair & nail growth, supports leaky gut repair, reduced cellulite and improved mobility. 

I use Grass-fed Pure collagen from the Naturally Nourished line which is lab-tested for purity to ensure there are no heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Use sugarfreemom10 at check out for a discount to this amazing collagen!

Chocolate Cottage Cheese Pudding Recipe

If you love chocolate and strawberries together; 

Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder plus 1/2 teaspoon Chocolate Monk Fruit Liquid sweetener.

Can I use a different fresh fruit?

Yes if you’d like to replace strawberries with another low carb berry you can do that in the same amount. I’d recommend blackberries, blueberries or raspberries.
