Tips for a Perfect Low Carb Snack
To ensure your mini pie is even more flavorful and practical, here are some important tips. The tapioca starch used in this recipe is the key ingredient for a gluten-free dough that is light and has great texture. If you want to vary the flavor and adjust the recipe, try replacing the cream cheese with cream cheese spread or ricotta cream, offering a creamy and smooth texture.
Also, take advantage of leftover cooked and seasoned chicken, which avoids waste and adds an extra touch of flavor. To preserve, store in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to four days or freeze for up to one month. When consuming, heat in the oven or air fryer to keep the dough crispy and tasty.
