Keto Cheese Danish

Ingredients / Directions:

Cheese filling: 

4 oz cream cheese, softened 

3 tbsp powdered monkfruit or powdered sweetener of choice 

1 egg yolk, room temp

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 scoop Vanilla C8

Add ingredients to a bowl and mix on medium with hand mixer until smooth. 

Pastry:

2 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour 

2 tsp xantham gum

2 tsp baking powder 

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp apple cider vinegar 

6 tbsp water

2 eggs, whisked

And 1 other egg, whisked for egg wash 

In a bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix, then add egg, vinegar and water and mix until dough forms. Once fully mixed, allow to sit for 5 minutes. 

Once rested, place dough between two pieces of parchment paper, roll out dough, with a knife or pizza cutter, trim off edges (save cut dough on side) until you have a clean rectangle. Then cut 1 inch x 3 inch or 1 inch x 2 inch rectangles. Cut as evenly as possible and you should end up with 16 pieces. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Using trimmed dough make a thin border along each edge of the rectangles so that it makes a well for the cheese filling. Once done, place about 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp of filling in each. Don't forget to egg wash the pastry.

Place in oven at 350° 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. 

Icing:

3 oz cream cheese, room temp 

3 tbsp heavy whipping cream, room temp

3 tbsp powdered monkfruit 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk with hand mixer until well-combined. Once danishes are cooled, you can drizzle, brush on or pipe on icing to danish.
