Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free sweetener
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Pearl sugar or almond slices (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, water, butter, salt, and sweetener. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted completely.
Once the mixture is smooth, bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add the almond flour all at once.
Stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Return the saucepan to low heat and cook the dough, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to dry it out slightly.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon or electric mixer after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle a small amount of pearl sugar or almond slices on top of each chouquette.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chouquettes are puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking to ensure they rise properly.
After baking, turn off the oven and leave the chouquettes inside for an additional 5 minutes to help maintain their shape.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb chouquettes as a delightful snack or dessert!
