INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We have to utilize this flour, as it provides a firm and tender texture. As an alternative, you can use sunflower seed flour, flaxseed meal, or a little bit of coconut flour.
PISTACHIOS:
- Pistachios will provide a crunchy texture and sweet taste to this cloud cake. As a replacement, we can use macadamia nuts, walnuts, or pecans.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- You can utilize erythritol powder, which will deliver a delicious and sweet taste. We can also utilize stevia blends, xylitol, or monk fruit sweetener.
RICOTTA CHEESE:
- We use ricotta cheese, as it will give a rich and silky texture to this cloud cake. Instead, you can utilize blended cottage cheese, mascarpone, or cream cheese.
BUTTER:
- Utilize butter to deliver moisture and an indulgent texture. Alternatively, we might use avocado oil, ghee, or coconut oil.
