ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• Erythritol powder quickly melts in the cherry filling and crust. We can alternate it with the monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or allulose.

CHERRIES:

• Cherries provide the bright color and tarty flavor. You can substitute it with blackberries, keto cherry pie filling, or raspberries.

XANTHAN GUM:

• Xanthan gum is used to make a thick texture of the cherry filling. We can use gulcomannon powder or ground chia seeds as a replacement.
