FAQs
Q: Can I use another milk instead of almond milk?

Q: Is erythritol the only sweetener I can use?
A: No. You can use another keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit blend. Adjust to taste.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes. Use coconut milk and skip any dairy toppings to keep it dairy-free.
Q: How do I know when it is done?
