You never really know someone’s picadillos, but if I wanted to add a cherry dollop, I would take some actual cherries and cook them down with some vanilla, a dash of salt and some Torani sugar-free black cherry syrup. When the mixture thickens and reduces (still leaving some nice rustic chunks of cherry), I would cool it and use like a jam. I actually have something similar made with Rainier cherries, in my fridge, right now! Yes, it’ll boost the carbs and uses a synthetic sweetener, but at the top of a busy day … I think this would be a lovely match.

Thanks, again, for the twists and thought!

Interesting! It’s not surprising, per se, but it’s interesting to see that this recipe is at least 20 years old … predating the big Atkins surge around 2002 to 2005. Thanks for the twists! 😀

I made this again today, but mixed the egg and cream cheese with a fork, to leave little pockets of the cream cheese in the mixture. I added 1 tsp of Cassava flour for a more bread-y texture. I added a little almond extract and reduced the vanilla to compensate. I, too, like to cook it in a ramekin. When I finished it looked like a homemade danish, complete with a tsp of all-fruit spread on top. So good, and I don’t even miss the bread. Wish I could find cherry all-fruit spread somewhere. That with the almond extract would be awesome!

The first time I saw the mock danish was in 2000, when I got a book called the Protein Power Plan. I tried it (in France at the time) and it was so satisfying. Now, when I make one, I will put a small glob of cream cheese on top, right in the center, about 1/2 way through baking. This is a cheese danish. I will do it with Polanar All-Fruit spread for a jelly danish. It really makes it feel like you are eating something bad, but it isn’t. I still make them.

Hi Victoria, Swerve is made from ingredients that do not impact blood sugars. While it’s 10 carbs, none of them are IMPACT carbs. The impact is the same as it would be with the liquid sweetener. Sorry for the confusion!

An add in that I did was a put 1 tbsp of no sugar added cherry pie filling in the middle before cooking. My total carb count went to 7, but I enjoyed it for breakfast.

Thanks for the recipe!

—Reply posted by DJ on 10/18/2015
Hi Melinda, I would suggest about a heaping teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. I might also suggest adding a twinge more sweetener, to balance out the bitter. I hope this helps! 🙂

YAY! Glad you liked it! Just … you know … keep in mind that there IS such a thing as too much of a good thing. Don’t burn out on ’em! 😉
