These mini parfaits are creamy and delicious!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup almond flour

2 teaspoons coconut flour

2 teaspoons Lakanto Powdered sweetener

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

16 drops Lakanto Vanilla or Plain liquid sweetener**

1 egg white, at room temperature

3 tablespoon butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup extra strong coffee or espresso

2 tablespoons rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1/4 teaspoon coffee extract (optional)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 envelope Dr. Oteker "Whip It" (optional)***

16 ounces room temperature cream cheese

1/2 cup Lakanto Powdered sweetener

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon rum extract (optional)

unsweetened cocoa powder and beat with 

Method:

Place the flours, 2 teaspoons powdered sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, liquid sweetener, egg white and butter to a mini food processor. Pulse and mix on low speed until the ingredients are well blended and a smooth dough is formed. Place the dough on waxed paper. Wrap and place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Combine the coffee, rum and coffee extract. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Preheat an oven to 375*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

Add the heavy cream and Whip It to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer just until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Add the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla and rum extracts to a medium/large mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer, on low, blend the cheese mixture until it is well blended, smooth and creamy. Add the whipped cream to the cheese mixture. Mix on low speed just until the cream and cheese mixtures are blended.

Divide the cookie dough into 8 equal portions. Place on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten, leaving at least 1 12 inches between the cookies. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely.

With a pastry bag, or spoon, layer half of the cream cheese mixture into 8 small jars or glasses. Dip each cookie in the coffee for 5 seconds and place on top of the cream cheese in the jars. Add a second cream cheese layer. Dust the top of each parfait with a pinch of cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Makes 8 servings.

**If you do not have liquid sweetener, increase the powdered sweetener to 4 teaspoons. The powdered sweetener is a substitute for regular powdered sugar, not granulated sugar. (Lakanto Monkfruit sweeteners can be purchased at Costco, Sprouts (& other natural food stores), online from Walmart, Amazon and the Lakanto website.

***Whip It is a powder that stabilizes whipped cream and helps it to hold it's shape. (It can be purchased at World Market, online and at German specialty stores.)
