Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla liquid stevia
  • 1 cup cannoli frosting
  • Garnish: chopped pistachios and chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, ground flaxseed, salt, and baking powder. Add in the heavy cream, eggs, almond extract, and vanilla liquid stevia. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 2: Pour into Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly between two greased 7-ounce quiche ramekins. This ensures that each serving is perfectly portioned and ready to bake.

Step 3: Choose Your Baking Method

Microwave Method

Place one ramekin in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean. If necessary, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals. Repeat with the second ramekin.

Oven Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Decorate

Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting. Once cooled, generously spread the cannoli frosting over the top of each cake. For an added touch of elegance and flavor, garnish with chopped pistachios and chocolate chips.
