Low Carb Cream Horn Recipe Instructions
- Start by placing 1 3/4 cups of Mozzarella cheese, Cream Cheese and Almond Flour in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it on high for exactly 1 minute.
- Add one egg, stevia powder, and vanilla extract to the heated mixture and stir it until all the ingredients come together. The dough will be sticky.
- Allow the dough to cool for a couple of minutes before you handle it.
- Split the dough into two equal parts.
- Layout a huge sheet of parchment paper. This will create a nonstick surface for you to roll this dough out. Place one part of the dough onto the parchment paper.
- Lay another piece of parchment paper over the top of the other sheet of parchment paper with your dough in the middle of both sheets. The dough will feel a bit sticky but it will come together the more you start to roll it out and mold it.
- Use a rolling pin (or your hands) smooth out the dough over the top of the parchment paper.
- Use a pizza cutter and cut strips of dough long enough to cover the stainless steel cream horns mold.
- Spray each mold with non-stick cooking spray to avoid sticking.
- Please each mold on a baking pan lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Bake them at 350 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes until they are a light golden brown color.
- Allow them to cool before attempting to remove the stainless steel cream horns mold.
- Start making the whipped cream filling while the cream horns are baking. Combine all the ingredients and use a hand mixer to mix it on high for about 5 minutes or so until the whipped cream becomes nice and thick. Once it’s done, fill a piping bag with the whipped cream filling.
- Once the cream horns have cooled, Fill the center of each cream horn with sugar-free vanilla flavored whipping cream.
- Top each cream horn with your favorite keto-friendly fruit option! We love to use blueberries, strawberries or raspberries!
