Dairy-Free Lime Cream

Sharing is caring!

Dairy-Free Lime Cream is a lite and creamy topping or sour cream that can be used in a variety of recipes. Furthermore, this recipe can be used as a sweet and creamy dessert topping by simply adding a little more monk fruit sugar to make it a little sweeter. Not to mention this recipe can also be used as a sour cream of sorts. If using as sour cream simply omit the powdered monk fruit sweetener and vanilla. For example, Dairy-Free Lime Cream could also be used as sour cream on Lettuce Wrapped Chicken Tacos. Dairy-Free Lime Cream is wonderful on Strawberry Pie, Dairy-Free Finnish Blueberry Pie,  just to name a few.

Since going refined sugar-free I have found that monk fruit is a wonderful substitute that tends to be about 10 times sweeter than white sugar. Therefore, less monk fruit sweetener can be used. Monk fruit sweetener can be found in most of my local stores. Find monk fruit sweetener here.

Notes:

What exactly is monk fruit sweetener? Monk Fruit sweetener is extracted from the monk fruit or the Buddha fruit. Monk Fruit is a natural sweetener that comes from China. For example, monk fruit gets its antioxidants and sweetness from mogrosides. Believe it or not, Monk Fruit has been used for centuries in Asia. Unbelievably, monk fruit has also been used in Chinese medicine. According to the FDA, Monk Fruit is 250 times sweeter than white sugar. (1)

As always I highly suggest doing your own research before deciding to add any new item to your pantry.

Indeed, I have created a powdered vanilla monk fruit sweetener. Find my recipe here.
