Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredient
3	Eggs
1/4	tsp Cream of tartar
1/4 – 2 1/2	tsp Sugar substitute
1	tsp Cinnamon
3/4	cup Ricotta cheese
4	oz Cream cheese
1/2	cup Sugar substitute
1	tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare Pastry:
- Separate the eggs, saving half of a yolk for the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until they form stiff peaks.
Mix Yolk Mixture:
- In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, cinnamon, ricotta cheese, and 1/4 – 2 1/2 tsp of sugar substitute (adjust to taste) until smooth.
Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites completely.
Shape and Arrange:
- Spoon the mixture into 6 mounds onto a buttered or oiled cookie sheet. Create an indentation (about an inch across) in the top of each roll to hold the filling.
Prepare Filling:
- Microwave the cream cheese until softened to a smooth consistency.
- Add the remaining sugar substitute (1/2 cup), vanilla extract, and the reserved half yolk. Stir until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Fill Pastries:
- Spoon the prepared filling into the indentations of the pastry rolls, distributing evenly.
Bake:
- Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the danishes are golden and set.
Cool and Store:
- Once baked, allow the danishes to cool slightly on a wire rack. Store them covered in the refrigerator after they have completely cooled.
