I'm excited to share this recipe for Mock Danish with you today. It's a delicious and low-carb treat that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Best of all, it's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients.
Mock Danish is made with a combination of cream cheese, egg, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon. It's then microwaved until it's set. The result is a creamy and flavorful treat that's reminiscent of Danish pastry. But unlike traditional Danish pastry, Mock Danish is much lower in carbs and calories.
So if you're looking for a low-carb treat that's both delicious and satisfying, give Mock Danish a try. You won't be disappointed!Step-by-step
- In a small bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 15 seconds or less; just long enough to soften it.
- Add the egg and combine the two ingredients with a spatula until smooth.
- Add the sweetener, vanilla, salt and optional cinnamon (I like it with cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg, when plain, but leave it out with eating it with fruit jelly). Mix well.
- Because I'm fussy, I transfer the ingredients into a 6-oz. ramekin to nuke, but you can continue to use the same bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds (turning half way through). It shouldn't be runny, but the center should still be a bit soft, for that "Danish" feeling. May need to nuke for a further 30 to 60 seconds.
- I used a spatula to pop mine out of the ramekin and placed it onto a plate, but ... again ... many just eat it right out of the bowl! Delicious hot or cold! Cover with jelly, or ... sprinkle some more cinnamon and sweetener over it.
