Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Reduced-fat puff pastry
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the reduced-fat cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Unroll the reduced-fat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to smooth any creases. Cut the pastry into 6 equal-sized squares.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, and top with a spoonful of plumped raisins.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center and gently pinch to seal them, creating a Danish shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash. Brush the pastry tops with the egg wash to help them brown evenly.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
While the Danishes are baking, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and low-fat milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the Danishes from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the warm Danishes before serving.
