Strawberry Danish (with Cream Cheese): An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 42 minute

Ingredients

– 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
– 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
– 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon milk
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)


Instructions

Creating Strawberry Danish (with Cream Cheese) is simple. Just follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smoothen it and increase its size slightly.

3. Cut Pastry: Cut the pastry into squares (approximately 4-inch squares). You can also cut rectangles if you prefer a different shape.

4. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. Add Filling: Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

6. Top with Strawberries: Add several slices of fresh strawberries on top of the cream cheese filling.

7. Fold Pastry: Fold the corners of the pastry squares toward the center, pinching them together to seal. You can create a pinwheel shape or simply fold up the corners.

8. Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the top of each danish for a golden finish.

9. Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the danishes cool on the baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes.

11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an extra touch of sweetness, dust the tops of the cooled pastries with powdered sugar before serving.

These clear steps ensure your Strawberry Danish will turn out perfectly, offering a delicious treat everyone will enjoy.
