Ingredients

• 1 package Whole wheat phyllo dough
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar-free sweetener, pure vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and cornstarch. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 4

Unroll the phyllo dough and cut into 8 equal rectangles. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.

Step 5

Place one rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter.

Step 6

Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the phyllo, leaving a small border. Add a spoonful of the blueberry mixture on top.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the phyllo over the filling to create a border. Brush the edges with more melted butter.

Step 8

Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the tops of the Danish with the beaten egg.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
