Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Cream cheese
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened dark chocolate bar
- 2 tablespoons Low carb sweetener
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to blend the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds or until both are soft. Stir until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the rectangle into 8 smaller rectangles of equal size.
Break the dark chocolate bar into small segments.
Place a piece of chocolate on one end of each dough rectangle and roll up tightly, sealing the ends well to enclose the chocolate.
Arrange the rolled pastries seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pastry with a little melted butter and sprinkle with low carb sweetener.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
