FAQs

Q: Can I use a different sweetener?
A: Yes. Use any powdered keto sweetener that measures like sugar. Erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blends work well.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: It is hard to keep the same texture without dairy. There are dairy-free cream cheeses, but results may vary.

Q: How long do they need to chill?
A: At least 2 hours. Chilling longer makes them firmer and easier to serve.

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?
A: Thaw and drain them well before using so the filling does not get watery.
