How to Make this Recipe Keto-Friendly

The full cup of powdered sugar means this recipe is definitely not Keto. However, it can be modified to be more Keto-friendly with a few substitutions.

Instead of a cup of powdered sugar, add 1/4 cup of Erythritol or Stevia. Taste it and add more or less depending on how you like it.

What is a vegan substitute for cream cheese?

This recipe is definitely not vegan. The heavy whipping cream and cream cheese are dairy products.

To make this vegan, you’ll have to find some non-dairy substitutes and you might need to add some extra sugar.

The best vegan cream cheese and heavy cream substitutes are:

• Miyoko’s Plainly Classic Cream Cheese

• Pureed tofu for heavy cream
• Blend 2/3 cup soy milk with 1/3 cup dairy-free margarine
