• 4 ounces Cream cheese (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and erythritol together.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and mozzarella cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and combined.

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms.

Step 5

Add the 5 ounces of cream cheese, vanilla extract, egg, and lemon zest to the dough. Mix thoroughly until smooth.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

For the filling, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined.

Step 8

Create a small indent in the center of each dough disc using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Fill each indent with approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 9

Bake the Danish for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
