Sansrival is a Filipino classic - crispy, chewy, meringue layered with French buttercream and cashew nuts. Translates to, “without rival.” Aptly so, as this is hands down a crowd favorite. The original recipe calls for a dacquoise, a meringue made with nuts that when cooked long and slow yields a crispy wafer. The keto version, however, will not have the same texture. Instead it’s more sponge-y. Sugar’s hygroscopic, or moisture absorbing, nature lends to the crunch that sweeteners ...

Cream Cheese, 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream, and 1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener). I based this recipe for the breadsticks on the same dough that's used in both the Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza and the Keto Roti John.

This cake will make 8 slices - each slice being 4.7g net carbs and filled with ...
