Low Carb Blintz Soufflé
A low-carb keto friendly version of a traditional blintz soufflé. Recipe adapted from Marlene Sorosky's Year-Round Holiday Cookbook. Nutrition information is based on 1/4 cup of berry sauce. Carbs will be lower if less or none is used on each serving. (Recommended serving is 2 Tablespoons of berry sauce per serving. (The fruit sauce adds about 5 carbs per serving) I've omitted it from the nutrition information for a truer carb count. For fruit sauce: In a small sauce pan, heat 1 cup frozen berries, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and and 2 Tablespoons water until the fruit has softened. Puree the fruit in a blender, thinning with water if necessary. If the sauce is not sweet enough, add sugar substitute to taste.
