Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Swerve powdered sweetener
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and cream cheese over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt to the melted mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then fold in the egg until fully combined.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop and roll the dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 long strips, approximately 1-inch wide.
Wrap each dough strip around a cream horn mold, starting at the pointy end and working your way up, slightly overlapping the dough as you go.
Place the wrapped molds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing the molds.
While the horns cool, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Swerve powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Whip the mixture using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Fill a piping bag with the whipped cream mixture and pipe it into each cooled horn shell.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
