Ingredients:
- For the blintz crepes:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon stevia or other low-carb sweetener
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
- For the cream cheese filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered low-carb sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- For the topping:
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for serving
- Sugar-free maple syrup (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, almond milk, vanilla extract, and stevia until smooth. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter to make the remaining crepes. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling onto one side of each crepe. Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling and roll it up tightly.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the rolled blintzes in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve the Keto Cream Cheese Blintzes with fresh berries and sugar-free maple syrup, if desired.
