Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Butter, unsalted
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and can be easily mixed together.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture, eggs, and butter to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Kneading with your hands may help incorporate the ingredients fully.

Step 5

Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangular shape approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles.

Step 7

Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly to form a crescent shape and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown.

Step 9

While the croissants are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 10

Once baked, allow the croissants to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over each croissant.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious low-carb treat.
