These Keto Mojito Cupcakes are a delightful fusion of the classic cocktail's zesty lime and refreshing mint flavors, transformed into sugar-free, low-carb treats.
Prepare a dry mixture by combining the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
Next, separate the egg whites from the yolks in another medium mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, one of the egg yolks, white rum, coconut cream, cider vinegar, chopped mint leaves, lime zest, and juice. Set aside.
Whisk the egg whites for 1 minute at medium speed using an electric hand mixer. Add the stevia powder and whisk for an additional 1 or 2 minutes at high speed until the egg whites form peaks. Set it aside.
Mix all the dry and wet ingredients using a spatula until there are no more lumps. Add the whisked egg whites in batches, gently folding with enveloping movements to preserve the air bubbles.
Scoop a spoonful of batter and place it on the silicone cupcake molds.
Place the silicone molds in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are slightly golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting — whisk together cream cheese, coconut cream, stevia powder, lime juice, and rum. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely before removing them from the molds.
Use a spoon to decorate the cupcakes with the frosting. Then, garnish with a lime wedge fresh mint sprig, and serve!
