Start by adding the pretzels, almond flour and sugar to your food processor and pulse for 10 seconds or so. Cool whip: I used TruWhip and it worked great.Yogurt: Greek yogurt, or plain whole milk or even dairy-free yogurt will work.Cream cheese: Opt for low fat cream cheese, or use vegan cream cheese to keep it dairy-free.Gelatin: No substitutions - you need it for the jello layer.I don't recommend using honey or maple syrup. I ended up using cane sugar, but coconut sugar or monkfruit will both work well if you want it to be less sweet. Sugar: You can use your sweetener of choice for this recipe.The frozen will be used for the homemade jello, and the fresh will get mixed into the jello once it's done. Strawberries: A combination of frozen strawberries and fresh strawberries works best.You can use coconut oil, but it will create a slight coconut-y flavor, so be aware of that.
