Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Stevia granules
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Add the melted butter and cream cheese mixture to the flour mixture. Mix well.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and add it along with the cold water to the dough, mixing until a dough starts to form.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Starting with the wide end of the triangle, roll each piece into a croissant shape, gently placing each onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops with stevia granules for extra sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown.
While the croissants are baking, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then whisk with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
Once the croissants are done, let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve the croissants with a generous topping of sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
