STRAWBERRY TOPPING:

• ½ cup fresh strawberries

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• We have to use the low-moisture, part-skim shredded mozzarella. We should not have to use fresh mozzarella cheese because it has more moisture & may cause the dough to become excessively sticky.

CREAM CHEESE:

• We have to use the full-fat cream cheese as it is ideal for a thick, creamy filling and to make the recipe keto-friendly.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We have to use finely ground almond flour rather than almond meal to have a smooth dough texture.

EGG:

• Egg provides structure and they also bind the dough components with each other.

BAKING POWDER:

• Baking powder gives the dough a little lift, which makes it fluffy and light.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• The vanilla extract improves the flavor of the dough and filling and adds a hint of sweetness.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• We have to utilize the Erythritol powder for a smooth filling and topping texture. We should not have to use the gritty and granular sweeteners.

FRESH STRAWBERRIES:

• We have to use fresh strawberries naturally to lend sweetness and juiciness without adding too many carbohydrates, making them perfect for topping. We should not have to use frozen or canned berries as they can have added moisture or sugar.
