Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 50 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Low-carb dark chocolate chips
- 1 Egg yolk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. You can use a microwave or a stove for this step.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter and cream cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Beat the eggs and add them to the dough along with the vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Gently fold in the low-carb chocolate chips.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles, roughly 4 inches wide at the base.
Roll each triangle from the base, towards the tip, to form a crescent shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with water to make an egg wash. Brush the croissants lightly with this mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack before serving.
