What is a Danish pastry?

A Danish pastry is a multi-layered sweet pastry similar to puff pastry. It is usually filled with fruit jams, cream cheese, or custard. Traditional Danish pastry contains wheat flour and sugar, making it unsuitable for a Keto diet.

How to make a Danish Keto pastry dough?

To make this Keto pastry, we are using a sweet version of fathead dough. While it might not be layered as traditional Danish pastry dough, it is just as rich and delicious. To prepare it, add shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, coconut flour, eggs, baking powder, xanthan gum, vanilla extract, and powdered sweetener to a food processor. Blend until a rough dough comes together, and transfer it to a bowl. Microwave the dough until the cheese melts, then mix it to smooth the dough.

What are some fun ways to customize this Keto cream cheese pastry?

These pastries are super versatile and can be customized in many different ways. You can swap the blackberry jam for any fruit jam you prefer, as long as it is sugar-free. You can also replace the cream cheese filling with custard or coconut yogurt.
