Servings:
This recipe makes approximately 12 cream puffs.
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Choux Pastry:
- In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add almond flour and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Remove from heat.
3. Add Eggs:
- Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
4. Pipe Pastry Rounds:
- Transfer the choux pastry dough to a piping bag. Pipe rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the puffs are golden brown and crisp. Allow them to cool completely.
6. Prepare Keto Cream Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Sweeten with powdered erythritol or stevia and add vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
7. Fill the Cream Puffs:
- Slice the cooled choux pastry rounds in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe the keto cream filling into the bottom halves and place the tops back on.
8. Optional: Dust with Sweetener:
- Optionally, dust the tops with a bit of powdered erythritol or stevia for a decorative touch.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your Keto Cream Puffs immediately and relish in the delightful combination of crisp pastry and velvety keto cream.
10. Store:
- Store any leftover cream puffs in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed fresh.
