Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 170 grams Erythritol granulated sweetener
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 large Eggs
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix well to ensure a lump-free batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the queijadas from the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the tops with a light sprinkle of additional ground cinnamon before serving.
