Keto Strawberry Danish
Ingredients
Strawberry Filling
- 2 tbsp truvia
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries sliced
Pastry Dough
- 1 cup Almond flour finely ground
- 1/4 cup truvia
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
Strawberry Filling
-
In a small pot, add water, truvia, lemon juice and xanthan gum.
-
Wisk ingredients together and cook over a medium heat.
-
Add strawberries and continue to wisk to prevent burning. Cook until filling thickens to a jam-like consistency.
-
Set aside to cool while you make the pastry.
Pastry Dough
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a bowl, combine almond flour, truvia, xanthan gum, baking powder, vanilla and mozzarella cheese. Mix together with a fork.
-
Microwave for 2 minutes
-
Stir well with a fork til cheese is well blended.
-
By now the dough should be cool enough to add egg without cooking it, so add egg and stir quickly to mix egg into dough completely.
-
Dump dough out onto a silpat or parchment paper. Cover with same and roll out flat to the size of a cookie sheet.
-
With a pizza cutter, cut dough into 16 even pieces.
-
Spoon strawberry mixture onto half of the dough squares (the other half will be the tops) keeping the outer edge free of strawberry sauce.
-
Cover each "bottom" with a "top". Using a fork, flatten the edges to form a seal.
-
Place pastries on a silpat or parchment paper onto a cookie sheet.
-
With a sharp knife, cut a slit through the top of each pastry. This should go through the top pastry dough to the strawberry, but not through the bottom layer.
-
Bake in the oven for roughly 20 minutes until the tops start to brown.
-
After cooling, refrigerate in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
