Instructions:

For the Choux Pastry:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, combine the water and unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and quickly add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dough to cool for a few minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. The dough should become smooth and glossy.
  • Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the choux pastry puffs are golden brown and have a hollow sound when tapped. Do not open the oven door during baking.

The Vanilla Custard Filling:

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard-like consistency. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.

While the choux pastry is baking, prepare the vanilla custard filling. In a saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk until it’s hot but not boiling. Remove it from the heat.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, egg yolks, almond flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Slowly pour the hot almond milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
