Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Blueberry preserves or jam
- 1 large Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll each sheet out slightly to ensure even thickness.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, creating 8 squares total.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square, spreading it slightly but keeping it away from the edges.
Top the cream cheese mixture with a teaspoon of blueberry preserves or jam.
Fold the opposite corners of each square towards the center, overlapping them slightly, and press gently to seal.
Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust when baked.
Transfer the assembled danishes to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the danishes before serving.
