Are there any ingredient substitution suggestions?

• Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener: This sweetener can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio with golden monk fruit sweetener. You can also use erythritol or Swerve.
• No-Sugar-Added SunButter: This sunflower-based spread can be replaced with the nut butter of your choice. I use this product often because I have peanut and tree nut allergies. It has the same consistency and a very similar taste to peanut butter and almond butter. If you can eat nuts, unsweetened peanut butter or unsweetened almond butter will work at a 1:1 ratio here.

Can fresh mozzarella be used in place of shredded mozzarella?

No, that will not work in this recipe as it has too much moisture. You need to use shredded mozzarella cheese, which is typically sold in a bag at the grocery store.

Why is monk fruit sweetener used in this recipe?

Monk fruit sweetener is a net-carb free ingredient that is substituted into keto recipes at a 1:1 ratio in place of sugar.

Why are these chaffles thinner than normal?

Keto cream puff chaffles are thinner than what you’d normally see, but that’s only because we’re using them to make a sandwich. In making them thinner, we’re able to balance the chaffle:filling ratio, keeping them delicious rather than rich and heavy.

For the filling, I made a simple vanilla whipped cream. It’s sweetened with Lakanto and is the perfect finishing touch on this recipe!

How to make cream puff filling keto?

For this recipe, the filling is made with heavy whipping cream, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract.

How to powder monk fruit sweetener?

For this recipe, I used Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener from Lakanto. If you do not have this product on hand and, instead, only have granulated monk fruit sweetener, you can powder it by pulsing it in a food processor or blender.

How to store this nut-free keto cream puff chaffles recipe?

Refrigerator Storage: Store these keto chaffles in the refrgierator in an airtight container or freezer bag and eat within 3 days.

Freezer Storage: Store these chaffles in a freezer bag or airtight container and use parchment paper to separate each waffle to avoid them sticking together. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To reheat, place in a toaster (only use a toaster if you have not added the filling to the chaffles), a preheated toaster oven, or a preheated oven, and heat until warmed throughout. Note that I would not suggest reheating them in the microwave as they will become very chewy.

How to make keto cream puff chaffles

Turn waffle iron on to preheat.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the chaffle ingredients together using an electric mixer. Then, divide the mix into 6 equal portions.

Generously coat preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.

Next, spoon individual portions of the mix into greased waffle iron. Before closing the iron lid to cook, allow the mix to sit for about 30 seconds to melt and spread to the edges. Use a spatula to spread the mixture if necessary.

Cook the individual waffles for about 1 minute with the lid down.

Note that these chaffles will be thinner than traditional waffles.

After cooking, remove the individual chaffle by teasing the edges out with a fork. Transfer the cooked chaffle to a wire rack to cool.

In a separate large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix the keto cream puff filling ingredients until they’re smooth and thick enough to pipe. Be careful to not over mix (if you do, it will yield a butter-like consistency).

Once the chaffles have fully cooled, spoon the low-carb cream puff filling into a piping bag and pipe the filling atop 3 chaffles. Place the remaining 3 chaffles atop the filling-covered chaffles to form a sandwich.

Serve “as is” or, using a sharp knife, slice the chaffles in half.
