Delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish

These danishes feature a buttery pastry filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese and sugar, topped with fresh blueberries. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and yields 8 servings.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares (about 4×4 inches).
Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble the Danishes: Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a few blueberries. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the danishes with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the danishes to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
