Description

This Keto Wonton Wrapper Alternative offers a low-carb, gluten-free substitute for traditional wheat-based wonton wrappers. Made with mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, and egg, these wrappers are perfect for keto-friendly dumplings, appetizers, or snacks. They are easy to prepare, roll thinly, and can be baked, air fried, or pan-cooked to suit your recipe needs while keeping carbs minimal.


Ingredients

Scale

Wrapper Dough

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the wonton wrappers.
  2. Melt Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted together.
  3. Mix Egg: Allow the melted cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add the large egg. Stir thoroughly until the egg is fully incorporated into the cheese mixture, ensuring an even dough texture.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the almond flour and salt gradually until a soft dough forms. Make sure the dough is well combined and pliable for rolling out.
  5. Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly to mimic the thinness of traditional wonton wrappers, about 1-2 mm thickness.
  6. Cut Wrappers: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into squares resembling wonton wrappers, about 3 inches by 3 inches each.
  7. Use or Cook: Use the wrappers immediately to wrap your desired fillings. Then cook them according to your recipe either by baking (recommended at 350°F for 4-5 minutes), air frying, or pan-cooking as preferred.

Notes

  • Keep the dough rolled thin so the wrappers fold easily like traditional wonton wrappers.
  • You can refrigerate the dough for about 10-15 minutes for easier handling if it becomes too sticky or soft.
  • These wrappers are best used fresh as they tend to dry out if stored for too long.
  • If storing leftovers, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your preferred wrapper texture and thickness.
