These Stuffed Cream Cheese Blintzes are a delicious and indulgent treat, combining rich cream cheese filling with a light, almond flour-based crepe. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they’re sweetened with erythritol for a low-carb, sugar-free option. Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients and their benefits:

1. Eggs
   Summary: Eggs are the base of the crepe batter, providing structure and a rich, fluffy texture.
   Benefits: High in protein and essential vitamins like vitamin D and B12, eggs support muscle health, boost energy, and promote brain function.

2. Almond Flour
   Summary: Almond flour replaces traditional flour, giving the blintzes a gluten-free, nutty flavor and texture.
   Benefits: Almond flour is high in healthy fats, fiber, and vitamin E, which support heart health, digestive function, and provide antioxidant protection.

3. Salt
   Summary: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the blintzes, balancing sweetness and richness.
   Benefits: Essential for electrolyte balance and hydration, salt helps support nerve and muscle function, while also bringing out the flavors in the dish.

4. Butter
   Summary: Butter adds richness and helps create a soft, flavorful crepe.
   Benefits: A source of healthy fats, butter supports brain function and energy production. It also provides a creamy texture to the blintzes.

5. Cream Cheese
   Summary: Cream cheese is the key ingredient in the filling, offering a smooth, tangy, and rich flavor.
   Benefits: High in fat and low in carbohydrates, cream cheese provides a creamy texture and helps keep the dish low-carb while offering a satisfying richness.

6. Sour Cream
   Summary: Sour cream enhances the cream cheese filling with its tangy flavor and smooth consistency.
   Benefits: Sour cream adds probiotics to the dish, supporting gut health and digestion, while also providing a creamy texture and extra richness.

7. Powdered Erythritol
   Summary: Erythritol is a sugar substitute used to sweeten both the crepe batter and the filling without adding carbohydrates or sugar.
   Benefits: Erythritol has no glycemic impact, making it a great choice for those on low-carb or keto diets. It helps satisfy sweet cravings without spiking blood sugar levels.

8. Vanilla Extract
   Summary: Vanilla extract adds depth and sweetness to the cream cheese filling.
   Benefits: Vanilla is rich in antioxidants and may have anti-inflammatory properties, while also enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.

9. Cinnamon
   Summary: Cinnamon adds warmth and spice to the filling, complementing the sweetness of the berries and cream cheese.
   Benefits: Cinnamon is known for its antioxidant properties and may help regulate blood sugar levels, promote digestion, and improve brain function.

10. Mixed Berries
    Summary: Fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) add a burst of color and natural sweetness to the dish.
    Benefits: Berries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, supporting immune health, skin health, and digestion while providing a sweet contrast to the rich filling.

11. Powdered Erythritol (for dusting)
    Summary: Powdered erythritol is used as a light dusting to sweeten the blintzes once cooked, providing a finishing touch.
    Benefits: Just like in the filling, powdered erythritol allows for sweetness without added calories or sugar, making it a great option for those following low-carb or sugar-free diets.
