Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Butter, unsalted and cold
• 3 large Eggs
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 150 grams Sugar-free Nuss Nougat spread
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the cream cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 6

Once the dough is chilled, divide it into two equal parts. Roll out each portion between two pieces of parchment paper into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut each rectangle into four triangles, making a total of eight triangles.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of sugar-free Nuss Nougat spread at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 9

Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle towards the tip to form a crescent shape.

Step 10

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg wash.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb treat!
