Ingredients

• 150 g Almond flour
• 20 g Coconut flour
• 50 g Erythritol
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Xanthan gum
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 150 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt 50g of unsalted butter, then add 1 beaten egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Set aside.

Step 6

In a heatproof bowl, combine 100g shredded mozzarella cheese with 50g unsalted butter. Melt them together in the microwave or over a double boiler until a smooth mixture forms.

Step 7

Stir in baking soda and the remaining egg into the cheese mixture. Mix until incorporated.

Step 8

Divide the cheese mixture into 8 portions and flatten each into a thin disc.

Step 9

Wrap each of the dough balls with a cheese disc, gently pressing around the dough to ensure it sticks and covers the entire surface.

Step 10

Score the tops of each dough with a crisscross pattern to resemble traditional melon pan.

Step 11

Place the melon pans on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the keto melon pans to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb treat!
