INGREDIENT NOTES:

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• This powder is used to sweeten these souffles and mixes smoothly in the batter. We can replace it with allulose, monkfruit sweetener, or stevia.

RICOTTA CHEESE:

• This cheese delivers a creamy and moist texture with a balanced fat content. Alternatively, you can utilize the cream and mascarpone cheese.

LEMON JUICE:

• This juice improves the deep flavor and also helps to balance the sweet taste. This juice provides bright texture and acidity. We can alternate it with the apple cider vinegar.

EGGS:

• Egg whites are used to provide structure & volume to these soufflés, and egg yolks improve the batter.

LEMON ZEST:

• Lemon zest has aromatic oils to give a strong citrus flavor without increasing carbs. You can use pure lemon extract as a replacement.
