Keto Cream Cheese Cherry Pastries (≈4g net carbs each)

Ingredients (makes 8 pastries)

Dough (fathead style):

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 oz cream cheese

1 ½ cups almond flour

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp baking powder

Cream filling:

6 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp powdered erythritol

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp heavy cream

Topping:

½ cup sugar-free cherry preserves (or fresh cherries cooked down with erythritol)

Powdered erythritol for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave (about 90 sec), then stir until smooth.

Add almond flour, egg, vanilla, and baking powder. Mix into a dough.

Divide dough into 8 portions. Shape each into a heart (or round if easier), flatten slightly, and press the center to create a small well.

In a bowl, beat cream cheese, erythritol, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth. Spoon a little into each dough well.

Add 1 tsp cherry preserves on top of the cream filling.

Bake 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered erythritol.
