Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 ounces Sugar-free dark chocolate
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 0.25 cup Erythritol or Stevia

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter and cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix the butter and cream cheese into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together 2 eggs and vanilla extract. Add the erythritol or stevia, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.

Step 7

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

Step 8

After chilling, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Cut the dough into triangles for croissants.

Step 10

Break the sugar-free dark chocolate into small pieces and distribute them evenly along the wide end of each triangle.

Step 11

Gently roll each triangle up from the base to the point, forming a crescent shape.

Step 12

Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the croissants to glaze.

Step 14

Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of each croissant.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

Let croissants cool slightly before serving, allowing the chocolate to set.

Step 17

Enjoy your low-carb chocolate almond croissants warm or at room temperature.
