Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to incorporate the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix using a spatula until well combined.
Step 4
Lightly beat the eggs and add them to the mixture along with the almond milk. Knead the dough with your hands until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, gently add the dough balls into the skillet, leaving some space between them.
Step 7
Fry the dough balls for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried dough balls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Optionally, dust the warm dough balls with powdered erythritol for a touch of sweetness before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
