Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred sweetener (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter and one egg, then mix until a dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape each into a rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each rectangle of dough.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a rustic Danish shape. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
