Keto Kataifi

Keto Kataifi is a delightful twist on the traditional Greek dessert, featuring shredded almond dough wrapped around a rich nut filling and soaked in a fragrant sugar-free syrup. This low-carb version satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping you in ketosis.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Psyllium husk - 10 grams
• Butter - 30 grams, melted
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Chopped walnuts - 50 grams
• Chopped almonds - 50 grams
• Sweetener (erythritol or stevia) - 30 grams
• Cinnamon powder - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
3. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the dough into a thin layer and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Remove the baked dough from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cool, shred the dough into thin strands.
5. In another bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, sweetener, and cinnamon powder together.
6. Take a small handful of the shredded dough, place a spoonful of the nut mixture in the center, and roll it up tightly to form a small bundle. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
7. In a saucepan, combine water, lemon juice, and sweetener. Simmer for 5 minutes to create a syrup.
8. Place the rolled kataifi on a baking tray and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
9. Once baked, drizzle the syrup over the kataifi and let it soak for a few minutes before serving.
