INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

MOZZARELLA:

  • We have to utilize low-moisture mozzarella because it will create a flexible and crispy keto wrapper. As a substitute, you can use part provolone cheese.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize finely ground almond flour because it will provide structure and keep the wrapper low in carbohydrates.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese will provide richness and a soft texture to the wrapper and filling. We recommend using full-fat, unsweetened cream cheese.

CRAB MEAT:

  • We utilize cooked real crab meat because it will provide protein and delicious seafood flavor. As a replacement, you can use another cooked low-carb seafood, but check the nutrition label carefully.

GREEN ONIONS:

  • Green onions will provide a mild onion flavor and freshness to the crab filling.

SESAME OIL:

  • Sesame oil will provide a rich, nutty flavor to the crab mixture.

LEMON JUICE:

  • Lemon juice will add freshness and balance the richness of the cream cheese. Fresh lime juice can be used instead.
