Ingredients
  

DOUGH:

CINNAMON FILLING:

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Natural Sweetener

CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons Natural Sweetener or a few drops of stevia glycerite

GLAZE:

  • 1/4 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream

OPTIONAL GARNISH:

  • crushed almonds omit for nut free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To make the dough, place the mozzarella and the cream cheese in a heat safe bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is entirely melted. Stir well with a spatula. Add the egg and stir to combine well. Add the powdered pork rinds and combine well.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  • Place a greased piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  • Place one ball of dough the dough on the greased piece of parchment paper and pat out with your hands to make a large circle shape, about 4 by 4 inches. Pinch the outsides to create a crater in the center. Repeat with dough so you have 4 circles placed 1 inch apart from each other.
  • Make the cinnamon filling by placing the melted butter, natural sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl and use a fork to combine well. Divide the mixture into the center of each circle.
  • Fold the outer 1/2 inch of the circle into the center to make a danish shape that has a well in the middle for the cream cheese filling.
  • Make the cream cheese filling by placing the softened cream cheese and natural sweetener in a bowl. Mix well to combine. Divide this mixture evenly into the middle of each danish.
  • Place the cookie sheet with the danishes in the oven to bake for 9 -11 minutes or until the danishes are golden brown and dough is fully cooked. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the glaze by placing the natural sweetener in a small bowl, add just enough almond milk to make a thin glaze. If it gets too thin, add a tablespoon of natural sweetener, and if it is too thick, add a splash of almond milk.
  • Once the danishes are cool, drizzle glaze over and sprinkle with crushed almonds if desired.
