Low-Carb Cheese Danish Pastries

Step 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (fan assisted), or 220 °C/ 425 °F (conventional).

Step 2Start with the filling by placing all ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer and whipping until smooth and creamy.

Step 3Place the mozzarella and cream cheese into a large microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir and then heat in bursts of 30 seconds until melted. Stir and then add egg and dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.

Step 4Knead dough until smooth. Divide in half and then roll out to about 5 mm/ 0.2" thick. Cut into even squares and make a slit in each corner, towards the centre.

Step 5Place a dollop of filling in the centre of each Danish and then twist the corners to how you like them.

Step 6Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. While they cook, place the glaze ingredients into a small saucepan. Melt over medium heat until smooth and combined.

Step 7Place the glaze in a piping bag and drizzle over the danishes when they come out of the oven, or simply drizzle with a teaspoon.

Step 8You can eat them warm or let them cool down. Store in a covered container, in the fridge for up to 5 days.
