Reviews
It was very sweet and I had already cut down on the sweetener based on another review. I mixed in some almond flour for the crust also.
It would be good to use half sugar and half low calorie. I used Stevia and it needs a little bit of sugar combination. I also added a courser type of almond meal, it seemed to give it more consistency. It has potential, just needs a bit of tweaking. Will try again.
DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE! It is way to sweet, and tastes way to much like almonds.
Tasty, especially if you’re on a keto diet and familiar with the sweetness of this kind of sugar substitute, but difficult to cut without breaking a lot of the pieces.
