Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and quickly stir in the almond flour and coconut flour. Continue stirring until the dough comes together and forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Once the dough has cooled slightly, add in the eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip. Pipe 6 evenly-sized mounds onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the Windbeutel are puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking to ensure they puff properly.
Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pastries are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Once the Windbeutel are fully cooled, slice them in half horizontally. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream filling into the bottom halves and place the tops back on.
Dust with powdered sweetener for garnish, if desired. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
