Ingredients
- 3 ½ tbsp inulin powder
- 2 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 ½ tsp egg white powder
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp sweetener
- 1 tsp butter
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
- ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp ChocZero Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- food coloring, optional
Directions
- In a small glass bowl, whisk together inulin powder, protein powder, egg white powder, xanthan gum and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, slowly mix in the coconut milk. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired.
- Place a steamer basket inside a large pot and fill with 1-2 inches of water. Place the bowl with your mixture on top of the steamer basket. Cover the pot and boil over high heat to steam for 30 minutes.
- Remove bowl and mix in coconut oil and sweetener. Let cool slightly. Knead on a plate or countertop until smooth and dough is just a little tacky. Roll into nine small balls and set aside.
- To make the filling, melt butter in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Mix in 1 tablespoon of coconut milk and cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and stringy. Stir in ChocZero Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. Remove from heat and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- To assemble. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin or use the palm of your hand to press dough into a small thin circle. Add a small dollop of filling to the center and fold in edges. Roll ball in your hand to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining balls.
- Store in the refrigerator.
