Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams almond flour
- 20 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 60 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 30 grams sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites into a clean, dry bowl, and keep the yolks aside.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, alternating with the almond milk. Fold until well combined.
Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter to keep it light and airy.
Melt the unsalted butter in a large, oven-safe pan over medium heat.
Pour the batter into the pan and cook for 5-8 minutes until the bottom is golden and the top is starting to set.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven. Using two forks, roughly tear the Kaiserschmarrn into bite-sized pieces.
Sprinkle the lemon zest and sliced almonds onto the Kaiserschmarrn.
Return the pan to the oven for another 2 minutes until the almonds are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and dust with powdered erythritol.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb Kaiserschmarrn!
