Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the danishes from sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the cream cheese filling
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Roll out the puff pastry
Place the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Roll it out gently with a rolling pin to smooth out the creases. Then, cut it into squares or rectangles depending on the shape you prefer.
Step 4: Assemble the danishes
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Add a few fresh blueberries on top of the cream cheese filling.
Step 5: Fold and bake
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a rough shape of a pocket. Brush the edges with an egg wash (a beaten egg mixed with milk) and sprinkle some granulated sugar on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
