How to Make Keto Almond Cream Pastries

PIN IT

1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
2. Bind the dough: Beat in the eggs and vanilla until a soft dough forms. Chill for 15 minutes.
3. Shape the pastries: Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Cut into squares or circles.
4. Fill and fold: Place a spoonful of almond cream in the center of each piece. Fold over and gently seal the edges with a fork.
5. Bake: Arrange pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp.
6. Cool & enjoy: Let pastries cool for 5 minutes before serving warm—or drizzle with a little melted sugar-free chocolate if you’re feeling fancy!

What to Serve with Keto Almond Cream Pastries

• A cappuccino or latte made with almond milk
• Fresh berries on the side
• A drizzle of sugar-free dark chocolate
• Perfect addition to a brunch spread alongside my Keto Pancakes and Egg Muffins

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use cold butter: This keeps the pastry flaky.
• Chill the dough: Prevents sticking and gives better structure.
• Seal well: Press edges firmly to avoid cream leakage.
• Don’t overbake: Pull them when golden to avoid dry pastries.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Wrap unbaked pastries and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 3 minutes to bake time.
• Reheat: Warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.

General Information

These pastries are inspired by European almond croissants but reimagined for a keto-friendly lifestyle. They’re especially delightful during the holidays when the smell of almond and butter fills the kitchen, but honestly? I’ll whip these up on a random Tuesday just because they’re that good.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut oil instead of butter.

Can I use only almond flour?
You can, but adding coconut flour helps structure the pastry.

Is almond cream the same as almond butter?
Not exactly—almond cream is smoother and sweeter, but almond butter works as a filling alternative.

Can I make the dough ahead?
Absolutely! Store it in the fridge up to 24 hours before baking.

Conclusion

These Keto Almond Cream Pastries bring all the charm of European-style baking into your kitchen—with none of the guilt. Buttery, flaky, nutty, and just 3 net carbs each, they’re proof that low-carb living can still be indulgent.
