Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100g
• Coconut flour - 20g
• Butter - 50g, melted
• Eggs - 1 large
• Stevia or Erythritol - 30g
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Heavy cream - 100ml
• Mascarpone cheese - 100g
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, one egg, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder until a dough forms.
3. Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut into strips about 5 cm wide and 10 cm long.
4. Wrap each strip around a metal cannoli mold, pressing the edges to seal, and place them on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely before removing from the molds.
6. While the pastry is cooling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
7. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the remaining egg, lemon zest, and sweetener until smooth and creamy.
8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
9. Once the cannoli shells are cool, fill them with the cream mixture using a piping bag.
10. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
