Cinnamon Cheese Danish (LC)

List of Ingredients

Pastry portion:
3 eggs -- separated (reserve
1/2 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup splenda -- or your choice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese

Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese -- 125gr
1/2 egg yolk -- reserved from pastry
1/4 cup splenda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla


Recipe

Pastry----------
Separate eggs. Reserve approximately 1/2 a yolk for the filling. Then whip the whites until very stiff with the cream of tartar. Mix the remaining yolks, cinnamon, ricotta cheese, and sweetener until smooth. Fold yolk mixture into beaten whites and portion into 6 mounds onto a buttered cookie sheet. After mounding onto the cookie sheet, make an indentation in the top of each roll to hold the filling.
Filling----------
Microwave cream cheese until soft enough to stir into a smooth pasty consistency (15 seconds perhaps?). Add the remaining ingredients to the cream cheese and stir until smooth. Fill each Atkins Roll on the cookie sheet with the filling. Bake for 40 minutes in a 300°F-150°Coven. (Mine is a convection oven, yours make take a bit longer.) Bake until golden.
