⭐ Why This Keto Danish Dough Works

Traditional Danish pastries rely on wheat flour and sugar—two major no-gos in a keto lifestyle. This recipe uses a combination of almond flour, coconut flour, butter, cream cheese, and allulose to recreate the tender, flaky, golden texture of a classic pastry without the carbs.

Ingredient Breakdown & Purpose

• Almond Flour: Creates a soft, buttery pastry base that is naturally low-carb and gluten-free.

• Coconut Flour: Absorbs moisture and adds structure, allowing the dough to roll out like classic pastry.

• Keystone Pantry Allulose: The key to achieving golden, caramelized pastry color. Allulose browns like sugar and keeps pastries soft (erythritol won’t brown).

• Cream Cheese: Adds tenderness, elasticity, and moisture while keeping carbs low.

• Butter: Provides richness and classic Danish “flakiness.”

• Eggs: Bind the dough and add lift.

• Vanilla Extract: Enhances flavor and aroma.

• Baking Powder: Gives the pastry a lighter, airier texture.

Helpful Hints for Perfect Keto Danishes

=============================

• Chill your dough before rolling — keto dough softens quickly.

• Use allulose for golden browning (erythritol stays pale and gritty).

• Bake on parchment for clean lifting.

• Don’t overfill — especially with pumpkin and jam-based fillings.

• Brush edges with egg wash for a glossy, bakery-style finish.

• Store in fridge up to 5 days; freeze up to 2 months.

• Warm before eating — keto pastries shine when lightly heated.

FAQ — Keto Danish Pastries

=============================

Are keto Danish pastries gluten-free?

Yes. Almond flour and coconut flour make this pastry naturally gluten-free.

Why is allulose the best sweetener for keto pastries?

Allulose browns like sugar, creates softer pastry layers, and prevents crystallization. It’s the preferred sweetener for authentic keto pastry texture.

Can I use different fillings?

Absolutely—sugar-free raspberry jam, chocolate filling, custard, or almond paste all work beautifully.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes. Chill up to 48 hours or freeze for up to 3 months.

Do these rise like traditional Danishes?

They rise modestly (gluten-free), but the golden edges and creamy centers deliver the full Danish pastry experience.
