Total Time: 3 hours

Custard cream step 1:

Add 1 cup of coconut milk into a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set milk aside.

Custard cream step 2:

In a bowl, whisk the 2 egg yolks, 1/3 cup of Erythritol sweetener, 3 tablespoons of Xanthan gum, and 1 tablespoon of cacao powder and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain.

Custard cream step 3:

Whisk in 3 tablespoons of hot milk into the egg yolk mixture one by one until incorporated to warm up the mixture (VERY IMPORTANT). Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the plastic against the surface to prevent skin from forming. Chill at least 2 hours.

Sponge Batter Step 1:

Combine egg yolks with cream cheese baking powder and sweetener

Heat up the oven to 180C/360F so the low-carb Ferrero Rocher roll pastry batter goes into an already preheated oven. Separate 4 large eggs, put egg whites in a large bowl and egg yolks into a medium bowl. In a bowl with 4 egg yolks add 1/2 pack (125gr) of original cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 3 tablespoons of Erythritol sweetener.

Sponge Batter Step 2:

Beat egg whites until soft picks will form

Once the cake is cooled, spread the chocolate hazelnut custard cream.

Roast the Hazelnuts:

Spread hazelnuts on a baking tray and transfer to a still-hot oven at 180C/375F. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until light browned. Remove them from the oven and transfer them on a clean towel while hot. Rub the hazelnuts together in the towel to remove the skins.

Chocolate Coating Step 1:

Cut the cooled roll with custard cream inside into 5 equal parts. Dip each part into melted chocolate, put it on the metal rack to cool, and decorate with roasted whole hazelnuts.

Notes:

The better the chocolate, the better the outcome. Just know that baking chocolate will not work in this recipe. Use your favorite low-carb chocolate, just remember to check the carb counts and do your own math because not all sugar-free chocolate is created equally.
Low-carb sweetener – Erythritol is my preferred low-carb sweetener; you can substitute your favorite low-carb sweetener. You can use your favorite low-carb sweetener. Be aware that not all low-carb sweeteners can be substituted 1:1 for erythritol. See the “KETO Zero Carb Sugar Substitute Sweeteners for Baking & Conversion Chart” post for more information on low-carb sweeteners and substitutions.
Low Ferrero Rocher roll pastry without flour can be made a day in advance. And this will take one headache less on the day when you have to prepare the whole get-together. Make it, place it into the fridge, and on the day all you have to do is put it on the plate and serve.
Store leftovers loosely in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to three days.
