INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

BRIE CHEESE:

• You can use the brie cheese, as it will provide a buttery and silky texture. As an alternative, we can use triple cream cheese, creamy Havarti, or Camembert cheese.

PLUMS:

• We have to use plums, which will give a fresh taste and sweet-tart flavor. As a replacement, you can use strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries.

OLIVE OIL:

• Utilizing olive oil aids in consistent roasting and provides nutritious fats. It also gives a smooth and rich texture. We can replace it with coconut oil, melted grass-fed butter, or ghee.

THYME:

• We use thyme, which will give an aromatic taste and earthy flavor.  Alternatively, you can use Fresh basil, rosemary, sage, or oregano.

ERYTHRITOL:

• Erythritol powder can be used to enhance the flavor and sweetness of this Dole whip. You can also use allulose, xylitol, or monk fruit.

PECANS OR WALNUTS:

• We utilize these nuts, as they will deliver a crunchy texture and nutritious fats. You can switch them out with pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, or almonds.
