Keto Cheetos Sweetos

Servings 6
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese frozen
  • 1/4 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 2 TBS ground cinnamon Ceylon cinnamon recommended

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Put the frozen cheese in a food processor/blender and chop, until it's in tiny little pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the whites with cream of tartar until VERY stiff peaks form. Sprinkle the natural sweetener and cinnamon, on top of the egg whites. Then, with a rubber spatula, fold into the egg whites, VERY CAREFULLY, being careful not to disturb the fluffy whites, but thoroughly spread the cheese, throughout.
  • Carefully place the mixture into a large Ziplock baggie, cut a ½ inch hole in the corner of baggie. Gently squeeze onto cookie sheet in CHEETO-like shapes. I would suggest using a sheet of parchment baking paper, to line your pan, but if you don't...grease the pan.
  • Bake at 300 degrees, for 20-30 minutes. The longer you can bake them (without them getting too brown), the crispier they will be. For even crispier puffs, turn off the oven, and leave them in the oven for at least 30-minutes. Store in a tightly sealed, air-tight container.
