Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Cherries, pitted and chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and erythritol sweetener.

Step 3

Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the lemon juice and half of the powdered erythritol. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 7

Make a small indent in the center of each dough circle using the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Fill each indent with a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and top with some of the chopped cherries.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

While the danishes are baking, make an icing by mixing the remaining powdered erythritol with a splash of water until smooth.

Step 11

Once the danishes are done, allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle with the icing before serving.
