I haven't seen lucuma for sale where I am. Should I omit it entirely or try to replace it with another ingredient? What sort of flavour does it add - rich, spicy, sweet, etc? Would it be okay if replaced by something like agave or carob?

edit: Upon re-reading the recipe, I see you use it as a thickener. Should I use some psyllium or blended flaxseed?
