Strawberry Banana Pudding Cookies

Keto Strawberry Banana Pudding Cookies with cheesecake dip are a pleasant dessert. These cookies are made with a blend of almond and coconut flour, along with freeze-dried strawberries and banana extract in place of real bananas to limit the carb content. We made cheesecake dip along with these cookies, which is made with a combination of cream cheese, whipping cream, Erythritol powder, heavy whipping cream & vanilla to form the rich dip. These keto Strawberry Banana Pudding Cookies with cheesecake dip store well, and they are free from gluten, so we can easily make a big batch of these cookies for later use.
