Notes
I have been commissioned by Arthur Price to create this recipe and share this blog post with you here on my website. All thoughts and opinions are my own and I only endorse products I genuinely would recommend to you.
Could this be made with sugar substitute, like stevia, as the sugar isnt needed to set the curd?
I have never tried it but I have seen recipes where they have used a substitute and it works. It is best to used the powdered kind as the granulated versions can re- crystallise. I would love to hear what you think of the recipe. 😊
