How to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Swirls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 2 tbsp allulose
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, heat the blueberries and allulose for about 5–6 minutes until they start to soften and burst. Stir in the chia seeds and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and monk fruit sweetener, stirring until a dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese, additional monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough. Spoon the cooled blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread it out gently.
- Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, creating a spiral. Slice the rolled dough into 8 swirls and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 22–26 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the swirls to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
