Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Cut in the cold, unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture has a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Add the egg to the mixture and knead gently until it forms a dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small pinch of almond flour at a time until it is manageable.

Step 5

Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.

Step 6

Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

Step 7

While the pastry cools, prepare the cream filling. Beat together the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol, and lemon zest in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Step 8

Once the pastries are cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream filling on each one.

Step 9

Top the pastries with slices of fresh strawberries. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of powdered erythritol or extra lemon zest for flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Enjoy your low-carb strawberry cream pastries!
