Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 Egg
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and melted butter and cream cheese mixture. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and easily combinable.

Step 5

Stir the melted mixture until smooth. Swiftly add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture and begin kneading the dough by hand until fully combined.

Step 6

Incorporate the egg into the dough, mixing thoroughly until the dough becomes sticky but holds together well.

Step 7

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and flatten it slightly. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 8

Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut the flattened dough into triangles to form the croissant shape. Gently roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end to shape into croissants.

Step 9

Place the shaped croissants onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Brush the tops of each croissant with this egg wash.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Allow the croissants to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your delicious keto-friendly croissants!
