Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Erythritol (or any low-carb granulated sweetener)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Ube halaya (sugar-free, low-carb)
• 1 large Egg yolk (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and knead gently until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the ube filling. Ensure your sugar-free ube halaya is soft but not too runny. You can adjust the texture with a small amount of coconut flour if needed.

Step 6

Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a round ball, then flatten into a small disc, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place about 2 teaspoons of the ube filling in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal. Roll the filled dough ball gently in your hands to smooth out the shape.

Step 8

Place the filled hopia seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all portions.

Step 9

Brush the tops of each hopia with the egg yolk for a golden finish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb ube hopia as a sweet and satisfying treat!
