Delicious Classic Strawberry Danish Dessert You Can’t Resist
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened for a smooth, creamy texture)
- ⅓ cup sugar (adds sweetness that perfectly balances the fruit)
- 1 tsp vanilla (for a warm, aromatic undertone in the filling)
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed, these create a flaky, light crust)
- 1 egg beaten (to brush the edges for a golden finish)
- ⅔ cup strawberry jam or preserves (use this for a burst of fruity sweetness)
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar (mixes with milk for a delightful sweet glaze)
- 1 tbsp milk (helps achieve a smooth consistency in the glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Cut the puff pastry sheets into thirds, then halve each strip to create a total of 12 rectangles.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry, topping with strawberry jam.
- Brush the edges of each pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze, then drizzle over the warm pastries.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious treats.
