INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
CREAM CHEESE:
- Utilize a high-fat cheese to provide a strong base and smooth texture. Don’t use the low-fat varieties. You can use a non-dairy cream cheese as a replacement, which works well for a keto diet.
SWEETENER:
- Use the allulose, erythritol powder, or monk fruit sweetener because they work perfectly for low-carb recipes. Never utilize honey or sugar as an alternative because they contain high-carb content.
HEAVY CREAM & BUTTER:
- Melted butter and high-fat heavy cream give a creamy and strong texture. Switch out butter with coconut oil or ghee, and heavy cream with coconut cream as you want.
PECANS:
- It has a flavor of regular pecan pie and delivers a crunchiness. As an alternative, use the macadamia nuts or walnuts instead. You can toast them to improve the taste.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It provides a sweet taste and includes a deep taste in this dip. We can utilize pure vanilla in place of it, but the flavor will differ slightly.
CINNAMON:
- It has a warm and spicy taste to deliver in this dish. You can substitute it with the pumpkin pie spice or skip it.
