About
These Keto Cannoli Waffles have all your favorite flavors rolled into one. Cinnamon-scented chaffle batter is crisped to perfection in a waffle iron and then topped with a creamy blend of lightly sweetened ricotta cheese and chocolate chips. This low carb meal does not have to be confined to breakfast time. Eat it as a snack or as breakfast for dinner. Either way, it is the ultimate way to enjoy cannoli low carb style!
Do I have to eat these as a waffle?
No, you can divide each waffle into four parts and spread it with the ricotta filling and then fold it up like a taco. This way, you can fit more ricotta filling into each serving.
Is there another way I can cook the batter?
Yes, if you have a pizzelle maker, you can use this batter in that machine and roll traditional cannolis. A waffle maker was used in this recipe because it is a more common piece of equipment.
What other toppings can I use?
Cannolis are traditionally topped with chopped pistachios, sliced almonds, crushed candy canes, and sprinkles! You can easily find sugar-free crushed candy canes at most grocery stores, and sugar-free sprinkles are found on online retailers like Amazon.
Serving suggestion
Serve Keto Cannoli Waffles with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup or a dusting of powdered erythritol and Keto Cheesy Egg & Spinach in a Cup for extra protein
Ingredients
- 4 large raw egg
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon chocolate chips, sugar free
Instructions
- Prepare the waffle iron by plugging it in and allowing it to heat so it is ready for batter. To make the chaffle batter, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, mayo, baking powder, 2 tbsp Swerve and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Allow it to sit for 1 minute before placing it in the waffle iron as the batter will thicken slightly.
- Spray the waffle iron with a high temperature cooking spray (like a grill non stick cooking spray) and pour half of the chaffle batter into the waffle iron. If your waffle iron is smaller, use your best judgement and use ⅓ of the batter instead. Cook the chaffle according to your waffle machine’s specifications, but be sure to use a higher temperature on your waffle iron. So if the heat settings are from 1 to 6 use setting 5. Remove the waffle from the iron onto a plate. Spray the waffle iron again with cooking spray and repeat with the remaining chaffle batter.
- In the meantime, mix together the ricotta, ½ cup Swerve, and ¼ tsp cinnamon.
- Divide each waffle into four parts. Top each part with a good dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with sugar-free chocolate chips or any other toppings you desire. Feel free to top with maple syrup if you are eating them more as a breakfast entree.
