Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Medium bowl
Pastry Cutter or Knives
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Almond Flour (150g)
2 tablespoons Coconut Flour (16g)
½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum (1.5g)
¼ cup Erythritol (48g)
½ cup Unsalted Butter (114g), cold and cubed
8 ounces Cream Cheese (227g), softened
1 Egg large
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (5ml)
1 cup Fresh Raspberries (123g)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest (2g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (15ml)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and 2 tablespoons of erythritol.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to a 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 8 squares.
Place squares onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, remaining erythritol, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each dough square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each with fresh raspberries.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let cool before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The dough can be made in advance and chilled overnight, which may improve the texture.

If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen and thawed raspberries can be used; just be sure to drain any excess liquid.
