Ingredients

• 150 g Almond flour
• 30 g Coconut flour
• 100 g Cream cheese
• 200 g Mozzarella cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 100 g Xylitol sweetener
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 30 g Butter
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the cheese mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and homogenous.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.

Step 5

Add the melted cheese mixture to the flour mixture, then add 1 egg. Mix until you form a dough.

Step 6

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 30x20 cm). Set aside.

Step 7

To make the custard filling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining 3 eggs with the xylitol sweetener until light and frothy.

Step 9

Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 10

Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to a custard consistency.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 12

Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet. Spoon the custard filling over one half of the dough, leaving a 2-cm border at the edges.

Step 13

Fold the other half of the dough over the custard filling to cover, and press the edges together to seal well.

Step 14

Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

Allow the bougatsa to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
