Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheeses are melted and combined.
Fold the melted cheese into the flour mixture, and then add the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough lightly on a surface dusted with almond flour until it's smooth.
Flatten the dough into a rectangle (approximately 12 x 8 inches) and cut into 8 triangles.
Roll each triangle from the wider end to the narrow tip to form a croissant shape, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the erythritol sweetener and heavy cream until smooth. If needed, adjust the consistency with a little more cream.
Once the croissants have cooled for a few minutes, drizzle the glaze over each.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your keto-friendly indulgence!
