Tips & Tricks
Preparation tips
We know that some people are allergic to peanuts. That said, there’s no need to avoid this dessert because you can use another nut butter as a replacement – for example, almond butter. Don’t forget to use a microwave-safe mug. While we recommend vanilla-flavored coconut butter or peanut butter for the topping, you can go for a sugar-free, keto-friendly syrup if you like.
