Description
These Keto Wonton Wrappers are a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional wonton wrappers, perfect for making keto-friendly appetizers. Made with mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, and egg, they create a pliable dough that can be rolled out and cut into squares ready for baking or pan-frying. Ideal for keto and low-carb diets, these wrappers offer flexibility for your favorite Asian-inspired dumpling fillings without the carbs and gluten.
Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Wrapper Dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for elasticity)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Make the Dough: Add the almond flour, egg, xanthan gum (if using), and a pinch of salt to the melted cheeses. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. If the dough feels too stiff, microwave it for an additional 10–15 seconds to soften.
- Roll the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out thinly to about 1/8-inch thickness, ensuring an even surface for cutting.
- Cut the Wrappers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into 3×3-inch squares. These form your wonton wrappers, ready for immediate use or storage.
- Storage: Use the wrappers immediately for your recipe or store them in the refrigerator, layered between parchment paper, for up to 3 days. For easier shaping, chill the dough for 10–15 minutes before cutting.
Notes
- These low-carb wrappers are best suited for baked or pan-fried keto wontons, as they may not hold up well in boiling water like traditional wrappers.
- Chilling the dough for 10–15 minutes before cutting can make shaping easier.
- Use parchment paper when rolling out and storing to prevent sticking.
- Adjust thickness of dough to your preference but avoid making it too thick to ensure proper cooking.
