Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly.
On a floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet and cut into squares to form the base of each danish.
Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, followed by a spoonful of the blueberry mixture.
Fold the corners of the squares towards the center, pressing them down gently to secure.
Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water to create an egg wash and brush over the edges of the pastries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and drizzle over the cooled danishes before serving.
