Ingredients

• 100 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 50 grams Granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 120 grams Butter, unsalted and cold
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 50 grams Dark chocolate, at least 70% cacao, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, xanthan gum, erythritol, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly incorporated.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, ice water, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the flour mixture and stir until the dough begins to come together.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a cohesive ball.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Roll the chilled dough out into a rectangle, approximately 30x20 cm (12x8 inches) and about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate evenly over the bottom half of the rectangle.

Step 11

Fold the top half of the dough over the chocolate-filled bottom half, pressing firmly along the edges to seal.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut the filled dough into strips about 5 cm (2 inches) wide and twist each strip gently.

Step 13

Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and chocolate has melted.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
