Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 tbsp Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Powdered Erythritol
For the Filling
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Powdered Erythritol
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg Yolk
For the Glaze
- 3 tbsp Powdered Erythritol
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and stretchy. Add the almond flour, egg, and 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol. Mix and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- In a separate small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until completely smooth. This is your danish filling.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a small disc about 3 inches wide. Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to press a deep well into the center of each disc.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into each well, making sure the filling stays within the edges of the dough.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the dough is golden brown around the edges and the filling is set.
- While the danish bites cool, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm danish bites and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
