CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese aids in stabilizing the filling with a velvety texture. As a replacement, you can use mascarpone cheese or high-fat Greek yogurt.
POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol powder provides a sweet taste and smooth texture to the cake. Utilize stevia, allulose, or monk-fruit sweetener in its place.
LEMON JUICE:
- Lemon juice helps in balancing the indulgent taste of the cream in this dessert. Swap it with lemon extract or apple cider vinegar.
LEMON ZEST:
- Lemon zest provides a fresh taste and citrus aromatic flavor. Alternatively, we may use lemon essence or lime zest.
ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS:
- Almond crackers are utilized to make the foundation of this cake. Switch it out with homemade keto shortbread cookies, packaged keto crispbread, or coconut flour crackers.
BUTTER:
