Ingredients

• 170 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 56 grams Cream cheese
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Frozen mixed berries
• 2 tablespoons Granular erythritol sweetener
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until both cheeses are melted and can be easily mixed together.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the melted cheese mixture, stirring to incorporate.

Step 5

Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until a uniform dough forms.

Step 6

Place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end towards the point to form croissant shapes.

Step 8

Place the shaped dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

While the croissants are baking, prepare the berry jam. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the frozen mixed berries and erythritol sweetener.

Step 10

Cook, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to cool, which will help it thicken further.

Step 12

Serve the warm croissants with a dollop of berry jam on the side or spread inside each croissant.
