Helpful Tips and FAQs
Substitutions
Keto Honey Graham Cereal – The Catalina Honey Graham Crunch Cereal is the perfect replacement for traditional graham cracker crumbs. If you prefer to use a Sugar-Free Almond Flour crust, it works well with this recipe. If you use a Sugar-Free Almond Flour crust, you may want to add a bit of extra sweetener to the crust. The Catalina Crunch cereal is sweet on its own, so adding a little extra sweetener will compensate for the substitution.
Sweetener
I use Splenda granulated whenever possible as it does not negatively impact my blood sugar. I find that sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols cause my blood sugar to rise. If this is not a concern for you or you have a preferred sweetener, by all means, make substitutions that suit your preferences and dietary needs. Keep in mind that substituting the sweetener may change the overall nutritional information.
Sugar Free Cool Whip
If you prefer, you can easily use fresh whipped cream, sweetened with Splenda or another sugar-free sweetener. This will alter the overall nutritional information slightly.
Butter – You can easily substitute the butter with Canola Oil or coconut oil. Both work well in the crust. I don’t recommend using olive oil or other oils that have a strong flavour.
Lime Jello – If you would like to make this sugar free layered jello dessert but don’t like the lime flavour, you can easily use any flavour of Sugar Free Jello. It will not be green for St. Patrick’s Day, however, it is great year-round in any other jello flavour.
Storing and Freezing
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 – 4 days. Be aware that the dessert starts to separate and get watery after 3 days.
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.
