Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Egg yolk
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon zest and gently stir in the raspberries to the cream cheese mixture.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold the corners of each square towards the center, pressing gently to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush each danish with the egg wash, making sure to coat the outer edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and water to form a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes before serving.
