Keto Cream Cheese Blintz

A Keto Cream Cheese Blintz is a low-carb version of the traditional blintz, which is a thin, crepe-like pancake filled with sweetened cream cheese. The keto version replaces high-carb ingredients with low-carb alternatives to make it suitable for those following a ketogenic diet.

Here’s a recipe for Keto Cream Cheese Blintzes:

Ingredients:

For the crepes:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Stevia or any keto-friendly sweetener to taste

For the cream cheese filling:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Stevia or any keto-friendly sweetener to taste

Instructions:

1. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine all the crepe ingredients and blend or whisk until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to achieve the right consistency. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and keto-friendly sweetener. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or coconut oil.
4. Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat this process until all the crepes are cooked. Set them aside.
5. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center of each crepe. Fold in the sides and then fold over the top and bottom to create a small rectangular package.
6. If desired, you can lightly sauté the blintzes in a pan with butter or coconut oil to give them a golden color and a bit of crispness.
7. Serve the keto cream cheese blintzes warm, and you can top them with fresh berries, sugar-free maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol for additional sweetness.
