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 |

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.
