What can I substitute for almond and coconut milk? Allergies-It needs to be keto friendly. Thank you
Hi, Mkianne. You can use light cream instead as is for the cooking functions. To make a beverage, add 2 tablespoons of the light cream to 7 fluid ounces of water for each cup.
Are the nutritional values per serving or for the entire pie?
Hi, Knipp. The nutritional values are per serving (1/4 of the recipe).
thanks
So are we suppose to eat only the one serving ?
Hi, LIsahughes44. Yes, one serving at a single meal.
It would be very helpful for pan sizes to be specified in these recipes for anything that needs to be baked. I couldn’t tell what size pan was in the photo.
Hi, BabyPuppy. I will forward that input to the recipe team. Meanwhile, I can tell you that a good pan size for this recipe would be two-quart/liter (8x8x2 inches or 20x20x5 cm).
Hi can I use the mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese? Thank you
Hi, Alessandra70. Absolutely!
Could I use coconut rather than almond milk? allergic. To almonds..
Hi, AmyRochell. Yes, of course.
What kind of heavy cream? Is it the heavy cream in the spray can? When the recipe says cheddar cheese, is that like a bag of shredded sharp or medium cheese…
Hi, Spl8fl. That cream is heavy liquid unwhipped, unsweetened cream. We will never recommend the stuff from the can, so no worries – too processed. With regard to the type of cheddar, as long as it is full-fat, you choose the specific flavor type.
What is the difference between Keto and Vegan?
Hi, Beepath. Keto is a very high-fat, minimal carbohydrate diet that makes the body go into ketogenesis, a processed that can lead to slimming and can control seizures in susceptible people; it is very often high in animal products. A vegan diet is completely free from animal products, and instead is based on plant foods.
Can I use regular milk instead of Almond Milk? I don’t have any Almond milk and I’d like to try this recipe.
Hi, Jody912. In small amounts like in this recipe, yes.
This is the first recipe I have made from this site since joining yesterday. It was very easy to make. I was not sure of the pan size used to make this so I just used a 9×9 and cut it into 4 servings. The nutmeg was a little bit more than I liked, but it was still good. I will cut back on the amount next time I make, and I will definitely make it again.
Hi, alfalfasgirl. Thanks for the input! I’m glad it worked out. 🙂
1/4th is a serving size?
Hi, nlekarczyk1. Yes, 1/4 of the finished pie is 1 serving for our keto menu.
