Keto Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- For the Cookie Cups:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Vanilla Filling:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form cookie cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- While the cookie cups are cooling, prepare the vanilla filling. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the cookie cups have cooled, fill each cup with the vanilla filling.
- To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it is just about to boil. Remove from heat and add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle or spoon the chocolate ganache over the filled cookie cups.
- Refrigerate the cookie cups for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious Keto Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups!
Tips for Success
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
