Hello MamaShire,
You mention using 6 eggs in this recipe. I assumed that eggs were in the dairy category. Am I incorrect? Also, did you use erythritol or xylitol in the recipe?thanks, Sandy
MamaShire
Hi Sandy,
Even though eggs are sold in the dairy department in stores they are not actually dairy. Also, when I originally posted this recipe I used xylitol, but I cannot tolerate xylitol any longer so I’m using erythritol, stevia or monk fruit as my go to sweeteners.

I just found your web page and your recipes look wonderful! I can’t wait to try them.
One question – Which one of the THM Stevia products compare to the Now Better Stevia?
MamaShire
The THM Stevia extract, but I would suggest using a smaller amount when using the THM Stevia. It seems to have a stronger flavor and is sweeter.
