Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 56 grams Cream cheese
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Frozen mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons Granular erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until both cheeses are melted and can be easily mixed together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the melted cheese mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
Place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end towards the point to form croissant shapes.
Place the shaped dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
While the croissants are baking, prepare the berry jam. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the frozen mixed berries and erythritol sweetener.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to cool, which will help it thicken further.
Serve the warm croissants with a dollop of berry jam on the side or spread inside each croissant.
