Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Butter, chilled and cubed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 50 grams Erythritol
• 100 grams Almonds, finely ground
• 50 grams Walnuts, finely ground
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 large Egg yolk, for glazing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

Add chilled butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and mix in apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough lightly until smooth, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine erythritol, ground almonds, ground walnuts, almond milk, and vanilla extract over medium heat.

Step 7

Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to resemble a paste. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle approximately 25x35cm.

Step 9

Cut the rolled dough into 8 triangles, similar to a pizza or pie shape.

Step 10

Place a small spoonful of the nut filling on the base (wider side) of each triangle. Roll each triangle from the base towards the pointed end, forming a crescent shape.

Step 11

Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg yolk and brush it over the top of each Nuss Gipfeli.

Step 13

Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
