Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Sugar-free strawberry jam
• 1 large Egg yolk (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Unsweetened almond milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, butter, and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Crack in the egg and add vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter to divide the dough into 8 triangles.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix sugar-free strawberry jam with a few strawberry slices. Place a small spoonful of the filling at the widest end of each triangle.

Step 7

Carefully roll each triangle, starting from the wide end, to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and almond milk to make an egg wash. Brush each croissant lightly with the egg wash to give it a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb strawberry croissants warm or at room temperature!
