Delicious Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish

This Danish features a buttery pastry filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese and sugar, topped with fresh raspberries. The preparation time is about 20 minutes, and it bakes to golden perfection in 25 minutes, serving approximately 8 pieces.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. 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 Danish: Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a few fresh raspberries. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.
Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
