Coconut sugar was used here. It has half the affect on your blood sugar that white sugar does. So using it in this recipe is really just a safety net and doesn't positively or negatively affect the flavor. You can use regular sugar with the same measurement.
I paired this shortcake with farmer's market strawberries and Reddi Whip. I sliced them and sprinkled Swerve powdered sweetener at let sit for a few hours to develop a juice. No hassle. And it's not pictured, but we added lemon curd at the end....talk about next level!
To make it Keto use grass-fed butter and your sweetener of choice.
