- ½ cup powdered erythritol-based sweetener
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
BLUEBERRY TOPPING:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol-based sweetener
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

SWEETENER OPTIONS:
Go ahead and use any sweetener you like, except for granulated bulk sweeteners. Because these bars are not baked, a granulated sweetener would be too gritty.
