Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 70 grams Almond flour
- 15 grams Coconut flour
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 grams Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 3 large Eggs
- 300 grams Sugar-free vanilla ice cream
- 60 milliliters Sugar-free chocolate sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum until everything is well combined and a dough forms.
Allow the dough to cool for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to help it cool faster.
Add the eggs one at a time, vigorously mixing with a wooden spoon or electric hand mixer until each egg is fully incorporated into the dough before adding the next.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Pipe small mounds (roughly 2 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound as they will expand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the profiteroles are puffed up and golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
To serve, slice each profiterole horizontally and fill with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream. Drizzle sugar-free chocolate sauce over the top.
Enjoy your low-carb profiteroles as a delightful dessert or snack!
