Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Butter, unsalted and cold
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Sugar-free Nuss Nougat spread
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the cream cheese. Mix until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once the dough is chilled, divide it into two equal parts. Roll out each portion between two pieces of parchment paper into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut each rectangle into four triangles, making a total of eight triangles.
Place a tablespoon of sugar-free Nuss Nougat spread at the wide end of each triangle.
Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle towards the tip to form a crescent shape.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb treat!
