Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol

• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• For the filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat and Prepare:
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Make the Dough:
• In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt.
• Add the cold butter cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for about 10-15 minutes.
• Form the Horns:
• Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut the dough into long strips about 1 inch wide.
• Wrap each strip around a cream horn mold, overlapping slightly.
• Place the molds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before removing them.
• Prepare the Filling:
• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
• Assemble:
• Once the horns are completely cool, fill a piping bag with the cream filling.
• Pipe the filling into each horn until it’s full and slightly overflows at the open end.
• Serve and Enjoy:
• Optionally, dust with additional powdered erythritol for a finishing touch.
