Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash; set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Toss the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and let sit for a few minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and unfold the puff pastry sheet. Cut into 8 equal rectangles or squares.
- Place the pastry pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Score a border about 1/2 inch from the edges of each piece, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Brush the borders lightly with the egg wash.
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry, spreading it within the scored border.
- Top the cream cheese with a few slices of sugared strawberries on each pastry.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the danishes cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over the slightly cooled danishes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality puff pastry.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference.
- You can substitute other berries for the strawberries.
