INGREDIENTS NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream provides a thick, creamy basis and it is perfect for whipping or making a smooth texture like panna cotta or mousse. This heavy cream is low in carbs content & it is also rich in healthy fat which makes the cream a good thing to use in the keto diet.
ORANGE JUICE:
- Orange juice provides a naturally occurring citrus taste without the use of additional sugar. We should have to use freshly squeezed juice for optimal flavor; however, even unsweetened juice has some natural sugars so we have to measure carefully if we follow a keto diet.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol is a superb, readily soluble keto sweetener and blends well without adding a grainy texture to cold or creamy mixes.
ORANGE ZEST:
- Orange Zest has the oils in the peel give it a powerful & intense orange taste and accentuates the orange profile and adds brightness to the dessert.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract gives the citrus notes a soft, mellow undertone while also adding warmth and harmony.
GELATIN:
- I use the unflavored gelatin as a setting agent to give the dessert structure and a solid, creamy texture.
