Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated erythritol
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, salt, and erythritol. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the almond flour and vital wheat gluten. Stir constantly until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed to release some heat.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, making sure that each egg is completely incorporated before adding the next. Continue mixing until you have a smooth and glossy dough.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop or pipe tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each puff.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

For the filling, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract and sugar-free sweetener until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Once the puffs are cooled, slice them in half horizontally and fill them with the whipped cream.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
