Low Carb Blintz Soufflé
A low-carb keto friendly version of a traditional blintz soufflé. Recipe adapted from Marlene Sorosky's Year-Round Holiday Cookbook. Nutrition information is based on 1/4 cup of berry sauce. Carbs will be lower if less or none is used on each serving. (Recommended serving is 2 Tablespoons of berry sauce per serving. (The fruit sauce adds about 5 carbs per serving) I've omitted it from the nutrition information for a truer carb count. For fruit sauce: In a small sauce pan, heat 1 cup frozen berries, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and and 2 Tablespoons water until the fruit has softened. Puree the fruit in a blender, thinning with water if necessary. If the sauce is not sweet enough, add sugar substitute to taste.
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons Butter, melted
- 6 Tablespoons Swerve
- 1 cup eggs, approximately 4 large
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 lemon, zest and juice, (about 2 Tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 Tablespoons baking powder
- 4 ounces cream cheese,
- 8 ounces cottage cheese small curd
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Swerve
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 Tablespoons Swerve confectioner's sugar, to dust finished souffle.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter or grease an 8" glass baking dish.
- In a blender or food processor, add butter, sugar substitute, eggs, sour cream lemon juice and zest, almond flour and baking powder. Blend until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: In a food processor, fitted with a blade, add softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, 1 egg yolk, sugar substitute, vanilla and almond extracts and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides.
- Using a spoon, drop filling in heaping spoonfuls onto the batter. Swirl in filling with knife. Don't worry if it's not completely blended. Pour remaining batter on top.
- Bake uncovered in the middle of the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Souffle will be firm, but slightly soft when done.
- Serve Blintz souffle warm with fruit sauce, jam or powdered sugar.
