Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the flour mixture and knead until a dough forms. It may be sticky, but this is normal.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape into buns. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet.
For the custard filling, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, erythritol sweetener, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the sweetener dissolves.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Create a small cavity in the center of each bun by pressing down with your thumb or a spoon.
Fill each cavity with a spoonful of custard.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the custard is set.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Keto Custard Buns as a delightful low-carb treat!
