Start your day with a heavenly Cheese Danish that’s flaky and creamy! Combining rich cream cheese with a hint of vanilla, this pastry is a brunch essential.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 4×4 inches.
  4. Step 4: Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a diamond shape, pinching the edges to seal.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over each Danish for a golden finish.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving. Enjoy your delightful Cheese Danish!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover Cheese Danishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • To reheat, simply pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are warm and the pastry regains its flakiness.
  • Serve your Cheese Danishes with a side of fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness that complements the creamy filling beautifully.
  • For best results, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing; this will help achieve that perfectly smooth and creamy texture in your filling.
