Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Sweetener (such as erythritol)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 1 cup Sour cream (for serving)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended, then set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the almond flour and a pinch of salt, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with some of the butter.

Step 4

Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set and the underside is lightly golden.

Step 5

Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds until the second side is cooked. Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and then fold over the ends to make a neat package.

Step 7

Once all blintzes are filled, wipe out the skillet and add a little more butter. Heat over medium heat, then add the filled blintzes seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Serve the blintzes warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries.
