Excellent lo carb chocolate pudding

Like many people, I crave chocolate. Which is OK except for the part where I can't eat sugarized chocolate. I've also found most of the recipes online for chocolate items to be either uninspiring or too high in carbs. So I found a real choclate pud recipe and modified it to suit

Glad you're enjoying it. Complex carbs, alas, are an extremely limited item. Today I had coffee with half and half (the coffee shop had no whipping cream) and it tasted like skim milk to me. How we change!

Guar gum (as a sub for cornstarch) is pretty nifty. It's a vegetable starch instead of a grass starch (i.e., corn or wheat) and has no carbs. It doesn't need much heat to thicken so it works faster and it works out to about 1/4 tsp to tsp of cornstarch. Pretty impressive stuff.
