Ingredients
Scale
1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 egg (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into squares.
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Add a few pieces of chopped strawberries on top of the cream cheese.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center and pinch to seal.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For a sweeter filling, adjust the sugar to taste.
Feel free to substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
These danishes are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
