Ingredients
  

Lemon Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoon butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon stevia/erythritol blend
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoon stevia/erythritol blend
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup frozen raspberries

Dough:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup stevia/erythritol blend
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Lemon Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoon butter softened
  • ½ ounce cream cheese softened
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon stevia/erythritol blend
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened almond milk room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sweetener and xanthan gum. Gradually add the lemon juice along with a bit of water (about half the amount of sweetener used), whisking constantly.
  • Turn the heat on to medium-low. Add the frozen raspberries, stirring constantly. Once the raspberry sauce is just starting to simmer, remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese for the lemon glaze with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon extract and blend to combine.
  • Slowly pour in the almond milk, beating the mixture between each addition. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a circular pan with coconut oil or butter. Get out two sheets of parchment paper and a rolling pin.
  • Prepare a double boiler (a medium saucepan with a medium bowl that will sit on top works just fine). Fill the saucepan or lower part of the double boiler with 2" of water. Place over a high heat and bring to a simmer uncovered. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.
  • Meanwhile, in the top part of the double boiler, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, xanthan gum, and baking powder.
  • Stir in the egg and vanilla extract. The mixture should be very thick.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese and place the bowl over the pot of simmering water. Use a silicone oven mitt to avoid being burned by the hot water and steam escaping the pot.
  • Stir the mixture constantly, as the cheese melts and combines with the flour to form a breadlike dough.
  • Once the cheese has completely melted, transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper. Knead the dough a few times to completely combine the flour mixture with the cheese. Form the dough into a rectangular shape and cover with the second piece of parchment. Roll the dough out into a rectangle and remove the top sheet of parchment paper.
  • Spread the lemon cream cheese filling over the dough, leaving about 1/2" uncovered on the edges. Spread the raspberry sauce over the lemon cream cheese filling.
  • Roll the dough into a log, pressing the outside edge to seal.
  • Using a serrated knife or dental floss, gently slice the log into pieces. Arrange the rolls in the greased pan.
  • Bake for 24–26 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with the glaze drizzled over top.
