I made them, Delish!!..thank you for recipe

I have put off making fathead dough as I noticed how hard/ long it takes to mix so I went into this like I would make meatloaf. Used my hands, and it combined very nice and was so much easier. After it was one ball I just took off what I thought would be a good size to make six and plopped on baking sheet. Made an intend for the cheese and they came out beautiful and was delicious. Thanks for the quick recipe, one I’ll make from now on. No dishes to wash other than the bowl, the baking pan and my hands.

Thank you great recipe, love how you added the Almond Flour in before microwaving the mixture. Will try this technique.💕

I love how your recipes are not complex and have ingredients already on hand.

I have to be honest. I really wanted to like this recipe although I did have reservations about it. First I followed the ingredient list and instructions. The dough is way to sticky to work with. That was the first problem. I used a sprinkle of almond flour on my mat, wet my hands and finally just used a large spoon to scoop four portions out. Six would've been too small. I baked them at 400 for 10 min and took into consideration that ovens vary but mine still burned on the bottom. The icing was too much for these four pastries. I suggest people halve the recipe for that. Then putting them back in the oven for 10 more minutes after plopping down the icing doesn't accomplish anything but burning the pastries more. That extra time doesn't "spread" the icing. I took one bite and threw them in the trash.

I just made these using allulose sweetener…I added some cinnamon swirled in and holy moly! I even was able to trick my very picky family with it. These are amazing…

[alaysiakayebutler]

Excellent!! Ive been wanting to make my adult son a keto baked good.. This is going to be perfect. Thank you!!

[sherrythacker]

Can you add some flavoring? like maybe some lemon in the filling?

[deborahcole]

What kind of mozzarella cheese do you use

[dennis]

It's good but found the cream cheese topping too sweet and ended up scraping most of it, will use less sweetener next time

[thattannerguy]

Can you use stevia as the granulated sweetener? Do most grocery stores sell monkfruit powdered sweetener?

[Blahbluh]

This is a weird coincidence my wife was just asking me to make some keto danishes. 😂

[tanjabuettner]

I don't have a microwave can I do double boiler??

[bonnie_gail]
