Notes
Substitutions:
*Stevia - can be subbed for any 0 calorie granulated sweetener. Bear in mind the conversion as the sweetener I uses is a 1:2 ratio of sweetener to sugar. *Espresso powder - can be subbed for instant coffee or coffee granules in a 1:1 ratio. *0 calorie powdered sweetener - you can make your own by blitzing any 0 calorie granulated sweetener in a food processor until fine. You can also sub for regular powdered/icing sugar in a 1:1 ratio.Nutrition
