FAQs:

Will I make these macrons dairy-free?

You just have to replace whipped cream, with cream (coconut) and it works flawlessly. There are no other ingredients that contain dairy.

Is there any substitute for swerve sweetener?

I just made my macrons with swerve sweetener so I have no idea about others. You may use Allulose or Bocha sweet but it might make them too soft and ruin their texture.

How we can get sugar-free dried cranberries?

The easiest and most friendly solution is that you can make it yourself. It is a very easy process and you get tasty cranberries as well. You can bring it from Amazon as well but they are expensive as well as have no taste.
