This Strawberry Danish with Cream Cheese is a delightful pastry combining flaky puff pastry, sweet cream cheese filling, and fresh strawberries. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this easy-to-make treat looks impressive and tastes even better.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into rectangles (about 4-6 pieces).
  4. Score a smaller rectangle inside each piece without cutting all the way through, to create a border.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture inside the scored area.
  6. Top with sliced strawberries.
  7. Whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash, and brush the edges of the pastry.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  9. Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is cold for best results.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
