• Serve with a sugar-free syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of Swerve?

Yes, you can substitute regular sugar if you are not following a strict keto diet; however, it will increase the carbohydrate content.

What can I do if my cream cheese mixture is too thick?

If the mixture feels too thick, add a small splash of heavy cream or milk alternative to loosen it up for easier spreading.
