Step 3

In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or large bowl, place the butter, sweetener, egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.

Step 4

Step 8

Spoon half of the filling mixture onto the center of the rectangle. Use the parchment paper, the long side facing you to lift the dough and fold over toward the filling away from you. Roll once again to seal the dough together.
