INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour is gluten-free & low in carbs and it also adds a nutty taste and makes a soft, flaky crust. We have to use the fine almond flour for the best texture.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder is a keto-friendly sweetener and it can dissolve easily it also works well to make the crust and the filling. We can also use monk fruit or another keto sweetener as its substitute.
UNSALTED BUTTER:
- We have to use unsalted butter to make cherry pie bites as it makes the crust more indulgent and makes the crust crispy.
EGGS:
- Egg helps create a firm yet soft base as it helps in binding the components of the crust.
CHERRIES:
- We have to use the fresh and pitted cherries as they are ideal for the keto dessert; we should not have to use the can of cherries as they have added sugar and extra carbs.
LEMON JUICE AND VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Lemon juice and vanilla extract are added to enhance the internal cherry flavor and balance sweetness with a crisp, fresh taste.
CHIA SEEDS:
- Chia seeds will help to set the filling without the additional carbs by acting as a natural thickening agent.
