Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener (such as erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 cup Sour cream (for serving)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the almond flour and a pinch of salt, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with some of the butter.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set and the underside is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds until the second side is cooked. Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and then fold over the ends to make a neat package.
Once all blintzes are filled, wipe out the skillet and add a little more butter. Heat over medium heat, then add the filled blintzes seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Serve the blintzes warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries.
