Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, monkfruit, baking powder, xantham gum and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until well combined and frothy, about 5 min.
Mix in the almond milk and vanilla extract, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients. Continue to whisk with the hand mixer for 3-5 min, until you get a smooth and airy batter.
Divide the batter between 12 silicone or parchment lined cupcakes molds.
Bake 25-30 min, then remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool at least 30 min.
While the cupcakes cool, slice the strawberries and prepare the chantilly cream.
In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk together the ingredients for the chantilly cream, until you get a thick whipped cream, about 5 min. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, using a small sharp knife, cut them horizontally across the center to create a two-layered cupcake.
Put a spoonful of chantilly cream in the center of each cupcake, then top the cream with 2 slices of fresh strawberry.
Replace the top layer of the cupcake back over the cream and strawberry, then top the cupcake with another spoonful of chantilly cream and 2-3 slices of fresh strawberry.
Repeat for the remaining cupcakes.
Serve immediately or refrigerate. The cupcakes can also be frozen, but without the chantilly cream and strawberries, for better results.
