Ingredients
- 1 pack sugar-free puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp sugar-free apricot jam
- 1 tbsp water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the sugar-free puff pastry and cut it into six equal rectangles.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle and spread slightly, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 5
Sprinkle lemon zest over the cream cheese filling, and place a few fresh raspberries on top.
Step 6
Fold over the corners of each rectangle to meet in the center and gently press them down.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the pastry to give it a golden sheen when baked.
Step 8
Place the danishes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Step 9
While the danishes are baking, in a small microwave-safe bowl, mix sugar-free apricot jam with water and microwave for about 20 seconds until melted and combined.
Step 10
Remove the danishes from the oven and brush them with the apricot glaze for a lovely shine.
Step 11
Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your sugar-free raspberry cheese danishes!
