CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use the full-fat and soft cream cheese for the best taste and easy mixing and it also makes the great flavor and texture of the filling.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese is used to bind the mixture and it also makes the dish more flavorful we can also use pepper jack, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or a combination of the cheese to make this puff.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour is gluten-free, low-carb flour as a substitute for traditional flour; we don’t have to use coconut flour as it is more absorbent so we don’t have to use it as it requires more adjustment.
EGGS:
