Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and 50 grams of powdered erythritol.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the almond flour mixture. Stir well.
Separate the egg whites and beat them until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
While the pastry cools, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add bloomed gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 30 grams of powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Once the pastry has cooled, carefully cut it into even rectangular layers.
To assemble the Keto Napoleon Cake, place one pastry layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling on top.
Repeat the process, layering until all pastry pieces and filling have been used, finishing with a pastry layer on top.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set firmly.
Before serving, dust with additional powdered erythritol if desired. Slice and enjoy your Keto Napoleon Cake.
