INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We utilize finely ground almond flour because it provides structure and a tender texture to the keto dough. As a substitute, you can use sunflower seed flour.
MOZZARELLA:
- Mozzarella helps create a soft, flexible, and slightly chewy keto dough. Low-moisture mozzarella works best.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese adds moisture and richness to the dough. Full-fat cream cheese is recommended.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides a rich flavor and helps the crescent rolls brown beautifully. As a different choice, you could use ghee.
BRIE CHEESE:
- Brie provides a creamy, buttery filling and melts beautifully during baking. As an alternative, you can use Camembert.
RASPBERRIES:
- Raspberries provide a naturally tart and fruity flavor while keeping the filling relatively low in carbohydrates. You can replace them with blackberries.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol provides sweetness without traditional sugar. As a substitute, you can use powdered allulose or monk fruit sweetener.
CHIA SEEDS:
- Chia seeds help absorb excess moisture from the raspberry filling. They are optional and can be omitted.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the oven to 190° Celcius and coat a sheet with baking paper.
- Gently cook the lemon zest, raspberries, vanilla, and erythritol for almost three minutes.
- Whisk in chia seeds if utilizing, then cool.
- Heat the cream and mozzarella cheese together till smooth.
- Include salt, almond flour, baking powder, egg, and butter, and stir to prepare a soft dough.
- Roll the dough into a thin circle by sandwiching it between 2 sheets of baking paper.
- Make twelve triangles from the dough.
- Put 1 piece of Brie and almost one tsp. raspberry filling on the wide end of all the triangles.
- We roll all the triangle toward the pointed end & carefully curve it into a crescent shape.
- Put the rolls on a sheet and coat with melted butter.
- Bake till lightly golden, for almost eighteen minutes.
- Cool for almost five minutes and serve these crescent rolls hot.
TIPS:
- We roll the dough between baking paper to avoid sticking.
- First cool the raspberry filling and then put it inside the dough.
- We utilize low-moisture mozzarella for perfect dough consistency.
- Serve hot so the Brie will stay soft and creamy.
