I am participating in the Steviva Holiday Keto Blogger Recipe challenge and created this vegan brownie and vanilla pudding parfait using Stevivia's KetoseSweet+ powder. It is a clean natural sweetener that is a blend of allulose, monk fruit and stevia. It is just as sweet as sugar and comes in both a powder and liquid form. It doesn't have an aftertaste and is safe for those who are diabetic.
