Keto Christmas Tree Pizzas are healthy & tasty. They are prepared in twenty-five minutes, so they are good to prepare as a quick snack or appetizer. These Christmas Tree Pizzas contain keto biscuit dough, low-sugar pizza sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese. These Christmas Tree Pizzas contain dairy, so dairy allergic peoples will not have these pizzas. We have to utilize vegan substitutes for the cheese and suitable alternatives for the dough to make them safe for a dairy-free diet while keeping the carbohydrates low. Keto Christmas Tree Pizzas are served with Caesar salad, garlic butter sauce, and roasted broccoli. We would easily store these pizzas, so we would easily make them in advance.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO BISCUIT DOUGH:
- Utilize the keto-friendly biscuit dough to prepare the foundation for these Christmas tree pizzas to provide a crispy texture. We have to use almond flour- or coconut flour-based dough instead to keep the carbs low.
PIZZA SAUCE:
- Include the low-sugar pizza sauce to provide the classic tomato flavor. We have to check the label and choose a sauce without added sugar or other high-carb ingredients.
ITALIAN SAUSAGE:
- Add the cooked Italian sausage to add the savory taste & additional protein. We have to choose sausage without added sugars so these pizzas will remain keto.
PEPPERONI:
- Utilize the pepperoni slices to add a rich, savory taste to these mini pizzas. We can cut them into smaller pieces so they can be arranged easily on the Christmas tree shapes.
