Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make a keto Danish ahead of time?

Yes! You can make a keto Danish ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to five days. To keep it fresh, place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat it in the oven at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) for a few minutes or warm it in an air fryer for a crispier texture. You can also freeze it for up to a monthโ€”just thaw and reheat before serving!

What can I use instead of blackberries in this keto Danish?

You can easily swap blackberries for other low-carb berries like raspberries, blueberries, or chopped strawberries. Each option adds a unique flavor while keeping the Danish keto-friendly. If you prefer a tangy twist, try cranberries (with a bit of sweetener to balance the tartness). For a nutty variation, consider adding sugar-free chocolate chips or finely chopped pecans. Just be mindful of the carb count, as some fruits have more natural sugars than others. Experiment to find your favorite combination!

How do I keep my keto Danish from getting soggy?

Ensure you bake it long enough for the dough to crisp up, and avoid adding too much moisture-heavy fruit. Storing it in an airtight container in the fridge also helps maintain texture.
