Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons Stevia or preferred sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
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 salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter and one egg. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add one egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, stevia, and lemon zest, and mix until creamy and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cut shallow slits in the top of the roll, about 1/2 inch apart, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Allow the Danish to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
