Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pistachios, shelled and unsalted
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Stevia
- 1 unit Egg wash (1 egg, beaten)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol sweetener, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30-45 seconds until the cheeses are fully melted and well blended.
To the cheese mixture, add the dry ingredients, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir quickly to form a dough. It will be sticky at first, but continue working it until it forms a smooth dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Softly melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the rolled dough evenly.
To prepare the pistachio filling, grind the pistachios in a food processor until fine. Add the heavy cream and stevia, pulsing until a paste forms.
Spread the pistachio filling over half of the rolled dough, then carefully fold the other half over, gently pressing to seal.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle into a croissant shape.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Brush the tops with egg wash for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto pistachio croissant warm or at room temperature.
