Low Carb Cheese Danish

These Low Carb Cheese Danish are a keto-friendly take on the traditional pastry. They have a soft almond flour crust with a cheesecake-like filling inside. They taste great because they are sweetened with erythritol and have vanilla and lemon juice added to them. You can add sugar-free raspberry jam if you want to give it even more flavor. These danishes are gluten-free and low in carbs, but they're still very tasty and great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar-free raspberry jam optional
• Powdered erythritol, for dusting optional

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

Put the erythritol, baking powder, salt, and almond flour in a bowl and mix them together

Fry the butter, add the egg, and vanilla extract

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms

Make eight equal pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball

Put the dough balls on the baking sheet that has been prepared, and then slightly flatten them to make disks

Mix the erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a different bowl until the cream cheese is smooth

Leave a border around the edges of each dough disk and spread a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of it

Put a teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of the cream cheese mixture on each disk if you are using it

It should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set

Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit

If you want, you can sprinkle powdered erythritol on top before serving
