An ultra-thick, tangy, creamy homemade high-fat yogurt is the perfect base for a keto-friendly tzatziki. Nothing fancy or obscure, just a really good base is what makes this recipe. Using coconut cream is about option to make it vegan, but be sure to add extra lemon juice to help replace the tanginess you would normally get from yogurt.
