Keto jalapeno popper cups that are encased in a coconut flour pastry. These little bites of spicy cream cheese make a delicious snack.

I used my mini muffin tray for these yummy jalapeno popper cups but you could bake them in a large muffin tray. If you do, bake them for about 5 minutes longer to ensure that the coconut flour pastry is cooked thoroughly.

As the jalapeno popper cups were baking they rose like little cakes. However, once they cooled down to a normal height. I was rather hoping they would stay tall like mini towers. I’ve found that when you bake with cream cheese, it does rise and fall.

Ingredients

Dough

½ cup 56g Coconut flour
1 tablespoon Pysllium husk powder
6 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Boiling Water

Filling

5 oz 140g Cream cheese softened
2 Jalapeno peppers deseeded & finely chopped
¼ cup 25g Parmesan cheese grated
¼ cup 28g Mozzarella cheese grated

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees

Make the Dough

Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and blend well.
Add the oil and egg and stir until combined.
Add the boiling water, gradually until you have a dough. Firm up with your hands.
Roll out the dough by placing it on a piece of parchment paper, place another piece of parchment paper on top, then roll out.
Cut out circles to cover the muffin tin spaces (I used a wine glass, but a large cookie cutter would do too).
Place the circles in a greased mini muffin tin and ensure that all the sides are covered with the dough.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, jalapenos, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese together.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the dough cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is firm and golden.
