Instructions
Make the Dough: Melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add almond flour, baking powder, egg, vanilla, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead until smooth.
2️⃣ Prep the Filling & Coating: In a bowl, mix sweetener and cinnamon. In another bowl, toss cream cheese cubes with sweetener.
3️⃣ Assemble: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt or loaf pan. Divide dough into 12-14 balls. Flatten, add a sweetened cream cheese cube inside, seal, then roll in melted butter and cinnamon sweetener mix. Place in pan.
4️⃣ Make the Caramel Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, then stir in cream, brown keto sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Pour over the dough balls in the pan.
5️⃣ Bake & Serve: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky, chill for 5 minutes before handling.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat before serving.
- For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts before baking.
