Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Zest of lemon
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Dark rum
- 0.25 cup Erythritol (for syrup)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Sugar-free vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing the cavities well with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the eggs and erythritol together until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and continue beating until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing until just combined. Fold in the lemon zest.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cavities, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the babas are baking, prepare the rum syrup. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, dark rum, and erythritol. Stir until erythritol has dissolved and remove from heat.
Once the babas are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Dip each baba into the rum syrup, allowing them to soak for at least 30 seconds to absorb the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream, sugar-free vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol on high speed until soft peaks form.
To serve, top each rum-soaked baba with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
