Starbucks Cheese Danish

Servings: 6 large danishes, 12 small danishes

Ingredients:

Danish dough - 

• 2 2/3 cups almond flour

• 1 ¼ cup tapioca flour

• 1 tbsp sweetener

• 1 cup warm water 

Cheese filling - 

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened 

• 1 egg yolk

• ½ cup powdered sweetener 

• 1 tbsp lemon juice 

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Egg Wash - 

• 1 egg, beaten 

• 1 tbsp water

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Start by making your dough. Mix everything into a large mixing bowl until your dough forms. Set in the fridge. 

2. Now, make your cream cheese filling. 

3. Making sure that your cream cheese is softened fully, in a medium sized glass bowl, add your softened cream cheese, sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla and egg yolk. Beat mixture until smooth.

4. Take your dough out and cut into equal sized squares. I’m making mine about 4” all around. Add your cream cheese filling in the middle. 

5. Using a paintbrush, add your egg wash on top and bake your danishes for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Remove your danishes from the oven and allow to cool. Enjoy!
