Once melted, add squash.
Saute for 2-3 minutes.

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
8 oz.
room temp Cream Cheese (1 boxed package)
1/3 cup granulated sweetener (Like Swerve!)
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
Method:
Place cream cheese, sweetener and egg in a stand mixer (or a bowl with a hand mixer works too!)
With paddle attachment, beat until all ingredients are well combined.
Scrape into a bowl and reserve in refrigerator.
Danish Batter Ingredients
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon granulated sweetener (yes, we all know I love Swerve!)
3 oz.
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Zero Carb Whey Protein (I use Vanilla flavored)
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
Method:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with a silpat OR parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
Separate the eggs, making sure no yolk gets into the whites and placing the whites in a clean, non-greasy bowl.
Using a clean, non-greasy electric whisk, whip the egg whites and the cream of tartar until stiff.
In a separate bowl, combine the yolks, sour cream, whey and sweetener until smooth.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the egg whites into the sour cream mixture.
Spoon 6 large mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Gently press with a spoon on the top of each mound to make a well for your fillings.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture in each well.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of “apple” mixture over the cheesecake batter.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts and a dusting of extra cinnamon.
Bake 20-3oish minutes, until golden-brown.
Cool a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store leftovers in a slightly open Ziploc bag in the fridge for a couple of days
