Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Purple yam (ube) extract
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened grated coconut
• 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tsp water)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and powdered erythritol. Mix well.

Step 3

Add softened unsalted butter and the egg yolk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s pliable.

Step 4

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add coconut cream, granulated erythritol, and grated coconut. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the filling from heat and mix in ube extract and vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.

Step 7

Once the dough is firm, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ube filling into the center of each disc. Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch the seams to seal it. Gently reshape the dough into a ball, then flatten slightly into a thick disc.

Step 9

Place the assembled hopia on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the hopia to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly ube hopia!
