Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 3 ounces Unsweetened dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and erythritol, then mix thoroughly.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles a crumbly mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
Divide the dough into eight equal parts. Roll each piece into a thin triangle on a piece of parchment paper to form the base of your cornetto.
Roll the triangles from the wide end toward the tip to form crescent shapes. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown, then let cool on a wire rack.
In the meantime, prepare the chocolate filling by melting the dark chocolate and heavy cream together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Once the cornetti are cool, use a small spoon or piping bag to fill them with the chocolate mixture.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped nuts while the filling is still warm.
Allow to set and cool for an additional 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy your keto-friendly cornetti!
