would this work with PURE stevia powder?
Samantha, have you ever tried making Keto Macarons? Just curious since you seem to have the meringue down pat…seems to follow that it would be pretty easy to make macarons adding granulated monk fruit, cream of tartar + almond flour after the meringue is made. 🤔 Curious to know what your thoughts are.
I have tried, and so far have been unsuccessful, macarons are a bit more finnicky. I am still trying though!
