ALMOND FLOUR:

UNSALTED BUTTER:
- Use melted butter; it gives the crust a deep flavor and aids in binding it. Use browned butter for further depth.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- This sweetener is easy to dissolve and keeps the crust and filling from becoming grainy. Stay away from granulated Erythritol to maintain the smooth texture.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Utilize whole cream cheese to attain the creamy consistency. You have to use soft cream cheese to prevent the lumps formation in filing.
COCONUT MILK:
- The filling has a creamy richness because of whole coconut milk in can. Mix the can to fuse the milk and cream then open can.
COCONUT SHREDS:
- Utilize keto coconut shreds to prepare a keto dessert. Toasting improves flavor and provides a pleasant crunch.
ESSENCE OF COCONUT:
- Coconut extract enhances coconut flavor in dessert without adding carbohydrates. Vanilla Extract is also a great substitute if coconut extract is not available.
