Description

Imagine biting into a warm, flaky croissant, its delicate layers yielding to a soft, buttery interior with a hint of rich chocolate. These aren't your typical pastries; they're a special treat designed to satisfy cravings without compromising your dietary goals. Crafted with a unique blend of creamy cheeses, finely ground almonds, rich cocoa, and a single egg, the dough achieves a remarkable texture.

The melted cheese creates a smooth base that binds with the almond flour, cocoa, and egg, resulting in a pliable and easy-to-handle dough. A brief chill in the refrigerator firms it up just enough for rolling. Once chilled, the dough is rolled out thin and carefully cut into triangles, ready to be shaped into those iconic crescent forms.

As they bake, the croissants transform, rising to a beautiful golden brown. The aroma of warm chocolate fills the kitchen, promising a delightful experience. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures – the crisp outer layers give way to a soft, almost melt-in-your-mouth center.

The subtle sweetness perfectly complements the deep, robust flavor of the chocolate, creating a truly satisfying treat. The secret to the intense chocolate flavor lies in using a high-quality cocoa powder; its concentrated richness enhances the overall taste. Chilling the dough is a must; it allows the ingredients to meld together properly and ensures the dough remains manageable during shaping.

These chocolate croissants are perfect on their own, enjoyed as a special breakfast, a midday treat, or a satisfying dessert. They pair beautifully with a hot beverage, such as coffee or tea, creating a moment of pure indulgence. Experience the joy of a classic pastry reimagined, offering all the flavor and satisfaction without the guilt.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir the mixture and heat again for 30-45 seconds until the cheese is melted. Stir well to combine.
    2.
    Add in the almond flour, cocoa powder, 3 tbsp of powdered erythritol, and one beaten egg. Stir well to combine. There should be no dry spots.
    3.
    Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to ")"). Place the two pieces of parchment paper with the dough in between onto a baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes after rolling.
    4.
    Cut the dough into large triangles. Roll each triangle starting on the widest end towards the point. Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with melted grass-fed butter.
    5.
    If there is any leftover dough, you can reroll the dough as many times as you need. Cut the dough into a single triangle at a time to form more croissants. Then dust them with the remaining powdered erythritol using a sifter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. These are best served warm from the oven.
