• 2 tbsp. chia seeds
• 2 tbsp. Erythritol

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We have to use the fine almond flour as it is gluten-free and keto-friendly for the soft, silky, and crunchy crust and we have to avoid using the almond meal as the crust will get crumbly.

COCONUT OIL:

• We use coconut oil as it is a fantastic dairy-free substitute that helps keep the crust hard, while butter adds a rich flavor. We have to use the melted coconut oil.

KETO SWEETENER:

• We have to add the keto sweetener like Erythritol and Monk fruit to make the keto-friendly dish and we have to adjust the taste as we like.

EGGS:

• Egg serves as a binder to give the crust structure and it also helps to hold the ingredients together. We can also use the flex seeds as a vegan alternative but it might change the texture of the filling.

BERRIES:

• We have to use the fresh mix of berries which includes blueberries, black berries, or raspberries for the best texture but we would also utilize the frozen berries as well.

CHIA SEEDS:

• We can use the chia seeds to thicken the filling without the addition of the carbs and they also increase the increase omega-3s and fiber.

LEMON JUICE & ZEST:

• Lemon Juice & Zest are added in the filing to balance sweetness.
