INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups plain pork rinds
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- ¼ cup Monk fruit powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
INGREDIENT NOTES:
PLAIN PORK RINDS:
- Use unflavored, plain pork rinds to replicate the crispy texture of Taco Bell’s twists. They are ideal for keto because they don’t contain any carbohydrates.
BUTTER:
- Butter aids with the sugar and cinnamon’s adhesion to the pork rinds. Utilize coconut oil or ghee as a non-dairy substitute.
MONK FRUIT:
- Monk fruit mixes or Erythritol powder dissolve easily and have a sugary flavor. Granular sweeteners won’t coat uniformly, so stay away from them.
CINNAMON:
- Cinnamon adds the flavor of warm, sweet spices. Freshly ground cinnamon tastes better and has a richer scent.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It improves the flavor overall by adding a deep, sweet undertone. For optimal results, only use pure vanilla extract.
