Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and erythritol sweetener.
Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the lemon juice and half of the powdered erythritol. Mix until well combined.
Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Make a small indent in the center of each dough circle using the back of a spoon.
Fill each indent with a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and top with some of the chopped cherries.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the danishes are baking, make an icing by mixing the remaining powdered erythritol with a splash of water until smooth.
Once the danishes are done, allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle with the icing before serving.
