Fathead Danish
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 8oz 230g
- 3 tbsp cream cheese 1oz 80g
- 1 tbsp butter
- 50g Lakanto Sweetener
- 2 egg whites 60g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup almond flour 3oz 90g
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place mozzarella, cream cheese and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 45 seconds. Remove, stir with a fork until blended, microwaving 30 seconds at a time as needed. Mix in sweetener, vanilla and egg whites until incorporated.
Combine dry ingredients and add to cheese mixture. Stir well, then knead for about 60 seconds.
Divide into 10-12 balls and arrange on parchment lined baking sheet. Create a well in each pastry using a tablespoon and small piece of parchment. Fill each with low-carb jam or cream cheese filling. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon if desired.
Bake 18-24 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Cool completely.
Cream Cheese Filling
Combine 100g softened cream cheese and 100g powdered sweetener (Lakanto or Swerve) until smooth.
Low-carb Jam
Thaw 1 cup frozen berries, then combine with 1 Tbsp each chia seeds, sweetener and lemon juice. Mash the mixture, or blend with stick blender until desired consistency. Refrigerate overnight before using.
