🧪 Methods & Techniques

1. Fluff Method

Folding (not mixing hard) keeps the dessert light and mousse-like.

2. Keto Sweetening

Powdered sweeteners dissolve better—no gritty texture.

3. Flavor Control

Use zest instead of too much juice to keep carbs low while boosting lemon flavor.

4. Zero-Carb Strategy

Replace real fruit with extracts or sugar-free syrups when needed.
