Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 5 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and erythritol together.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and mozzarella cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and combined.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms.
Add the 5 ounces of cream cheese, vanilla extract, egg, and lemon zest to the dough. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
For the filling, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined.
Create a small indent in the center of each dough disc using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Fill each indent with approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
Bake the Danish for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious low carb cream cheese Danish!
