      Cant believe this recipe doesn't have any reviews! This is, by far, my favorite recipe that I found during the 6 months I did keto. And now that I've hit my goal weight and transitioned into Paleo, I still make it all the time. It is so easy and a showstopper that i use to entertain. The recipe has spread like wildfire among my friends and family. Thanks for the post! Delish!!!
