Instructions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

  • Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Cut prepared Soft Wrap dough into 4 equal pieces.
  • Roll out one portion into a large rectangle to as thin as you can get it. The dough should almost be sheer. Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough into strip 15 cm x 3 cm. For this recipe I used 1/4 of the dough and rolled out 18 rectangles for a total of 6 matchsticks. You can cut as many as you wish to prepare at one time. Any left over dough can be used for wraps, corn chips etc or kept in the fridge until required.
  • Place the strips onto the baking tray and brush with a little melted butter and sprinkle over powdered sweetener. I do this through a sieve.
  • Bake 4-5 minutes turning after 3 minutes. Pastry should still be pale but slightly crisp. Transfer from baking tray to wire cooling rack and allow to completely cool before using.
  • Whip cream to a soft peak then add cream cheese, sweetener and lemon curd. Whip until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small bowl or piping bag if using.
  • Spread a layer of jam onto matchstick. Trim the ends of the strawberries if adding them as standing strawberries like pictured. Alternatively slice berries and add a layer of berries to the matchstick, then a layer of cheesecake mixture. Top with another strip and repeat. Place a final strip on the top and dust with powdered sweetener. Serve.

Notes

  1. Mad Creations Soft Wraps are perfect for these keto matchsticks. Check out out Premix Products Page for stockists or to order online.
  2. I prefer to use Natvia sugar free raspberry jam, however I do have a recipe for a Raspberry Chia Jam that can be used.
  3. Any berries can be used in place of strawberries.
  4. Any sweetener of choice can be used. I do prefer Sukrin Melis as it has no aftertaste.
  5. Any other flavours can be used in place of the lemon curd. Add some jam to the mixture, some melted dark chocolate or vanilla. So many options!
  6. Thickened cream is a higher fat cream. You can substitute creme fraiche or sour cream in its place.
  7. Matchsticks are best consumed on the same day as making.
  8. The unfilled pastry strips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and stay crisp.
