Unveiling the Delicious Secrets of Low-Carb Salzburger Nockerl

Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Nockerl:

  • 4 large eggs, separated

  • 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia), or to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour

  • A pinch of salt

For the Raspberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (unsweetened)

  • 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia), or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup water

For Serving:

Instructions:

For the Nockerl:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks into two separate bowls.

  3. Sweeten and Whip Egg Whites: Add the low-carb sweetener to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This may take a few minutes.

  4. Mix Egg Yolks and Flour: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth batter.

  5. Fold Together: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until well combined, being careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

  6. Form Nockerl: Using two spoons, create oval or quenelle-shaped Nockerl (dumplings) from the batter and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the Nockerl are lightly golden on the outside and still soft on the inside. Be cautious not to overbake.

For the Raspberry Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, low-carb sweetener, lemon juice, and water.

  2. Cook: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. This step is optional.

To Serve:

  1. Plate: Divide the warm Salzburger Nockerl among serving plates.

  2. Drizzle with Sauce: Spoon the raspberry sauce over the Nockerl.

  3. Dust with Sweetener (Optional): If desired, dust the Nockerl with powdered low-carb sweetener for an added touch of sweetness.
