INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a microwave safe dish, melt mozzarella and cream cheese. Stir until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, cream butter, egg, almond flour, vanilla, sweetener, cinnamon and sour cream.
3. Combine cheese mixture into batter until a soft dough forms.
4. If dough is sticky, add more almond flour. Until dough resembles a spoonable cookie dough like texture.
5. Spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into ball, wrap and refrigerate while preparing blueberries.
6. *****Dough MUST get cold or it will be too sticky******
7. In a sauce pan over medium low heat, start cooking down blueberries. Mix often. When enough juice has formed that they will not scorch to the bottom, bring to a boil. Mixing often.
8. Stir in xantham gum. When sauce thickens, reduce to simmer.
9. Sauce should have a filling texture like if you had used cornstarch.
10. Add lemon zest. Stir. Remove from heat and set aside.
