Strawberry and Vanilla Cream Lengths

MAKES 2 LENGTHS

Vanilla Cream

3 large egg yolks

1 tbsp erythritol powder and 1/16 tsp stevia powder

½ cup (100 ml) whipping cream

½ tsp vanilla powder or seeds from ½ vanilla bean or 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

3½ tbsp (50 g) very soft butter

Lengths

¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter

8 large eggs + 1 egg yolk

6 tbsp erythritol powder and 1/16 tsp stevia powder

¾ cup (200 ml) coconut flour

2 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsp baking powder

Garnish

small container of fresh

strawberries

1 egg white

slivered almonds

stevia powder ¾ cup (200 ml) coconut flour

2 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsp baking powder

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt and cool butter. Make vanilla cream.

Vanilla Cream

In a saucepan, mix all the ingredients except for the butter. Bring to a simmer. Simmer while stirring continuously until cream thickens. Do not let cream come to a boil. Let cool.

Add in the butter, little by little. Keep cream refrigerated.

The cream can be made a day ahead.

Length

Whisk eggs, yolk, and sweetener until light and airy. Stir the cooled butter into egg mixture.

Combine coconut flour with the cardamom and baking powder. Work the dry ingredients into the batter. Let dough rest as it will rise some.

Divide dough in half into two lengths, and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten the lengths down the middle, and make a small indentation along the entire length. Do not make the dough too thin. Place vanilla cream in the indentation, and top with sliced fresh strawberries. Brush edges with whipped egg white then sprinkle with slivered almonds.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

TIP: For a delicious variation use fresh or frozen blueberries.

For a less “eggy” vanilla cream replace one yolk with ½ a sheet of gelatin (½ tsp powder).

To handle sticky dough more easily, wet palms with cold water.
