Ingredients
- 120 ml water
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 10 g granulated sugar substitute
- 90 g almond flour
- 3 whole large eggs
- 30 g cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0 for greasing olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add water, unsalted butter, salt, and sugar substitute. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low once the butter has melted completely.
Step 3
Add the almond flour to the saucepan and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
Step 6
Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 7
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and fully incorporated. The dough should be shiny and pipeable.
Step 8
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Step 9
Pipe dough rings onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between them.
Step 10
Lightly spray the crullers with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 11
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crullers are golden brown and crispy.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
