Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
For the Crust:
Almond Flour 2 cups
Coconut Flour 1/3 cup
Granulated Erythritol 1/4 cup
Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Butter, Melted 1/2 cup
Large Egg 1
For the Filling:
Cream Cheese, Softened 8 oz
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Lemon Zest Zest of 1 lemon
Powdered Erythritol 2 tablespoons

Instructions:

  1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and egg until a dough forms.

  3. Shape the Dough: Flatten the dough into 6 equal circles on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press in the center of each circle to create a small well for the filling.

  4. Whip Up the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and powdered erythritol until smooth.

  5. Fill and Bake: Dollop the cream cheese mixture into the wells of the dough circles. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the danishes are golden brown and set.

  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the danishes to cool slightly before serving. This will help them set completely and prevent the filling from running.

  • For a richer flavor, substitute a tablespoon of melted butter for some of the almond flour in the crust.
  • You can experiment with different sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit in the recipe.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of your favorite keto-friendly sweetener or chopped nuts on top of the danishes before baking for an extra touch.
