Pastry

Cream Cheese Filling

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese and 2 oz. cream cheese to a microwave safe bowl. Heat the cheeses at 30 second intervals until they are completely melted and combined.
  • Place the almond flour, 3 tablespoons low carb sweetener, cinnamon and baking powder into a mixing bowl with the cheese dough, and knead with your hands until well combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl with the dough, and beat on high until combined.
  • Place the dough into the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll the chilled dough into a rectangular shape between two pieces of parchment paper. You want it thin, but not so thin that it tears when handled.
  • Cut the dough into 6 rough rectangular or square shapes.
  • Fold the edges of each rectangle/square up into the center of each shape to form a sort of octagonal danish shape with a space for the filling in the center.
  • Combine the ingredients for the filling in a mixing bowl, and beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry, and bake for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  • Let cool before serving
