Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 1 cup Water
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3.5 ounces Dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao), chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a full boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the almond flour and cocoa powder, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Using a spoon or piping bag, drop or pipe the dough into 12 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are set and have risen significantly. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to ensure the puffs rise properly.

Step 8

Immediately transfer the puffs to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the puffs are cooling, make the chocolate cream filling. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well combined.

Step 11

When the puffs are completely cool, slice each one horizontally and fill the bottom half with the chocolate cream. Replace the tops.

Step 12

Serve immediately or refrigerate until served.
