Helpful Tips and FAQs

Ingredient Substitutions

Using Store Bought Sugar Free Strawberry Ice Cream.

If you choose not to make the Sugar Free Strawberry Ice Cream, you can easily substitute it with a store-bought sugar-free version. The nutritional information will change, but the taste and texture will remain the same.

Catalina Crunch Cereal Substitution

If you are unable to get Catalina Crunch Fruit Cereal, replacement options that are diabetic-friendly include Almond Flour or Almond Meal, Coconut Flour or Pecan Flour. The nutritional information will change as well as the overall texture and appearance, but the recipe will remain diabetic-friendly.

Walden Farms Syrup Substitution

Walden Farms Syrups are zero calorie, zero carb syrups and it can be difficult to find a similar substitution. You could use a sugar-free store-bought syrup or sugar-free jam, however the carbs will increase.

Flavour Variations

This recipe can be made with different flavours if desired. Replace the Strawberries with a fruit of choice, and use a coordinating Sugar-Free ice cream. Replace the Fruity Catalina Crunch cereal with the Cataline Crunch Honey Graham Cereal.

Butter Substitution

An unflavored oil, such as canola oil works well as a substitute. Coconut oil also works well even though it has flavour but the coconut flavour is mild and compliments the strawberry flavour.

Storing Instructions

Store your Sugar Free Strawberry Ice Cream cake in an airtight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap in the freezer for up to one month.
