Keto Cannoli: Indulge in Guilt-Free Deliciousness Today!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/4 cup mini sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, salt, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper until thin (about 1/8 inch thick). Cut into rectangles (about 3×5 inches).
- Carefully wrap each rectangle around a cannoli mold, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently removing the molds.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in mini chocolate chips if using.
- Once the shells are completely cool, fill each shell with the ricotta mixture using a piping bag or a spoon.
- Dust with additional powdered erythritol before serving.
Notes
- For a different flavor, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the ricotta filling for a citrus twist.
- If you prefer a crunchier shell, bake the cannoli shells a little longer, but watch closely to prevent burning.
