Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt.
Add eggs, 1 cup of almond milk, 4 oz softened cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly into a thin layer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges are set, then carefully flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
For the filling, beat 8 oz room temperature cream cheese with 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup powdered erythritol, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Place a crepe on a work surface, spread 2-3 tablespoons of cheese filling in the center, fold in the sides, then roll up each blintz.
In the same skillet, add more butter if needed, and cook the filled blintzes for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a dusting of additional erythritol.
