Basque-Style Bread

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese (One full block; at room temperature for easier beating.)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (The type of sour cream used for tacos.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup melted butter
• 4 eggs (Whole and at room temperature.)
• salt (A pinch, to taste.)
• 4 tbsp monk fruit sweetener with erythritol (Approximately 1 tablespoon per egg; adjust to taste.)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 cup almond flour

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Prepare the pan with wax paper if you want the sides to brown, or grease it if you prefer to use a greased pan.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter until very well combined and smooth.

3. 3

   Add the 4 whole eggs at room temperature and beat very well until completely incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the pinch of salt and the monk fruit sweetener with erythritol. The amount indicated in the video is approximately 1 tablespoon per egg, although the sweetener should be adjusted to taste. Beat until combined.

5. 5

   Add the baking powder and beat again until incorporated.

6. 6

   Add the 2 cups of almond flour and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and reaches a texture or consistency similar to ice cream.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface if necessary.

8. 8

   Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 1 hour, until the sides and top are well browned.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool. Then refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours; serving it chilled is recommended.

Notes

The transcript does not specify the size or shape of the pan. The creator recommends cooling and refrigerating the dessert for 2 to 4 hours because she considers it tastier when chilled. The sweetener should be added to taste; the quantity of 4 tablespoons is an approximation based on 1 tablespoon for each of the 4 eggs.
