Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish

Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish

These danishes are made with just a few ingredients and are easy to assemble, but taste like you spent hours in the kitchen! This recipe is a keeper for sure! 

Ingredients

Yields 12 Servings
  • 1 c. fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp. Firebee Elderberry Honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed for 15 minutes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Glaze
  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven according to the directions on the puff pastry box. Take your puff pastry sheets and unfold them. Cut each into 6 rectangles and place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. 

Step 2

Using a knife, score lines to create a smaller rectangle inside each pastry. Stab the inside rectangle with a fork to prevent it from rising as much. 

Step 3

Chop your strawberries into small pieces and mix with the lemon juice to help retain freshness. Set aside while you make your cream cheese filling.

Step 4

To make the cream cheese filling, mix together the cream cheese, vanilla, and Firebee Elderberry Honey. Spread the mixture evenly over the 12 puff pastry rectangles.

Step 5

Top each puff pastry with some of the diced up strawberries. Make an egg wash by adding the 1 Tbsp. of water to a beaten egg. Spread with a pastry brush to the outside edges of each pastry. 

Step 6

Bake pastries for 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown. While cooking, mix up your glaze by combining the powdered sugar and cream. Remove the danishes from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before glazing them.

Enjoy!
