Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate (sugar-free), chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Melt the mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
Mix the melted mozzarella cheese and cream cheese with the flour mixture until a dough forms. This can be done using an electric mixer for best results.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dough and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles.
Place a few pieces of dark chocolate at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll the triangles, starting from the wide end and tucking the point underneath to form a croissant shape.
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb chocolate croissants warm or at room temperature.
