Ingredients

• 180 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 50 grams Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
• 50 grams Sliced almonds
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Microwave on medium power for 30-second intervals until both are melted and smooth when stirred.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, erythritol sweetener, and salt.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and cream cheese mixture, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms, it should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper, cover with another sheet, and roll out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 8 triangular pieces similar to a pizza.

Step 7

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and distribute evenly along the wide end of each triangle.

Step 8

Roll each piece from the wide end towards the tip, forming crescent shapes, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Lightly press the sliced almonds onto the tops of the croissants.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
