Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack sugar-free puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp sugar-free apricot jam
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the sugar-free puff pastry and cut it into six equal rectangles.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle and spread slightly, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle lemon zest over the cream cheese filling, and place a few fresh raspberries on top.
Fold over the corners of each rectangle to meet in the center and gently press them down.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the pastry to give it a golden sheen when baked.
Place the danishes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
While the danishes are baking, in a small microwave-safe bowl, mix sugar-free apricot jam with water and microwave for about 20 seconds until melted and combined.
Remove the danishes from the oven and brush them with the apricot glaze for a lovely shine.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your sugar-free raspberry cheese danishes!
