Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or another low-carb sweetener
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the cheese is mostly melted and can be combined smoothly.
Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, egg, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and spread the melted butter over the dough.
Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon, stevia, and raisins.
Starting from one end of the rectangle, gently roll the dough into a log, using the parchment paper to help.
Cut the log into 8 equal portions and place each piece flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Press down lightly on each portion to form a round Danish shape.
Brush the tops of the pastries with heavy cream.
If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds for crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
