FAQ
Do I need powdered sweetener?
Yes. Granulated sweeteners make the fluff gritty. Powdered erythritol or monk fruit works best.
Do I need to chill it before eating?
You can enjoy it immediately, but chilling for 1–2 hours gives it a thicker, mousse-like texture.
How long does it last?
- Fridge: 5–7 days (covered).
- Freezer: Up to 3 months (thaw 20–30 minutes before serving, it’s also delicious half-frozen).
