Cream Cheese and Cherry Danish, a flaky pastry filled with creamy cheese and sweet cherry filling. Here’s how to make it:
Recipe Steps:
Prepare the Filling:
Mix 8 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 egg yolk in a bowl until smooth.
Assemble the Danish:
Roll out store-bought puff pastry dough and cut into squares. Add a dollop of cream cheese filling in the center and top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
Fold and Seal:
Fold the pastry corners to the center or leave it open for a classic Danish look. Press lightly to seal the edges.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Garnish and Serve:
Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve as a delightful breakfast or dessert.
