New Up to date Meals Processor Technique for Fathead Dough

The standard methodology that the majority recipes use is to soften the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwavable protected bowl, then stir along with the remainder of the components.

I discovered it fairly troublesome to work with the dough and really incorporate the flour with the melted cheese, so I created this newer methodology which makes it rather a lot simpler to work with.

​Instructions for Previous methodology

• In a microwaveable protected bowl add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
• Microwave 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir till mixed.
• In a small bowl, whisk flour, the eggs, vanilla extract and vanilla stevia collectively till mixed.
• Add this to the cream cheese combination and proceed to stir. Should you’re having a tough time, moist fingers to mix by hand.

Place all components right into a meals processor and course of till mixed. Take away and place right into a microwavable bowl and microwave for two minutes or double boiler to soften combination over low warmth on the range.

Stir once more to mix after which flatten to make the danish form. 

Low Carb Sweetener Choices

You do not essentially want the dough to be candy, however I believe it makes it really feel extra like a candy cheese danish with some sweetness to it.

To make this a candy dough, we do want so as to add a low carb sweetener. I choose to make use of liquid stevia for this dough as I really feel like a granular sweetener would not take in as effectively into the dough and go away the puff pastry like dough a bit grainy in texture. 

A powdered low carb sweetener would possibly work higher than granular for those who do not wish to use liquid vanilla stevia. Monk Fruit additionally has a liquid possibility that doesn’t embody any erythritol sweetener in it. 

I might use a ½ cup of your sweetener within the dough and filling. You’ll be able to all the time style and modify as you go alongside. This is my Sweetener Information & Conversion Chart that can assist you resolve how a lot to make use of.

A creamy cheese danish pastry like this has been on my foodie bucket listing for a very long time.
