Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk one egg with the vanilla extract, then incorporate it into the flour mixture until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling by processing the walnut halves, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and heavy cream in a food processor until a thick paste forms.
After chilling, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles, much like you would cut a pizza.
Place a small amount of the walnut mixture at the base of each triangle and roll it towards the tip, forming a croissant shape.
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over each Nussgipfel for a golden crust.
Sprinkle the tops with unsweetened grated coconut.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Allow the Nussgipfel to cool on a wire rack before serving.
