Keto Cream Puffs Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cream Puff Dough:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Make the Cream Puff Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until a dough forms. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing each egg into the dough before adding the next one. The dough should become thick and smooth.
- Spoon or pipe small mounds of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 12 puffs.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Once done, let them cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Make the Cream Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
3. Assemble the Cream Puffs:
- Once the cream puffs have cooled, carefully cut a small slit in the side of each puff or slice them in half like a sandwich.
- Fill each puff with the whipped cream mixture. You can either spoon it in or pipe it for a neater look.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. You can garnish them with a little powdered erythritol or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flavor!
These keto cream puffs are a delicious, low-carb treat, perfect for a sweet indulgence on your keto journey!
