Instructions For Cranberry Cream Cheese Danish:
Soften cream cheese and thaw one sheet of the Puff Pastry. Cut puff pastry into four equal squares. Then, follow the cuts and folds below:
When cream cheese has softened and puff pastry has thawed, pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and then, blend the cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
Add the sugar, vanilla and egg yolk (reserve the egg white in a separate bowl) and blend until smooth and creamy.
Cut puff pastry into four equal pieces and fold each square into a triangle. Cut as pictured above or as your imagination desires.
Place cut and shaped puff pastries on a baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper.
Fill each of the four puff pastries with the cream cheese mixture-divide evenly.
Make a well in the center of the cream cheese mixture on each puff pastry.
Fill the wells with desired jam.
Whisk the egg white with the 1 teaspoon of water and brush egg white onto the puff pastry (not on the cream cheese and jam part).
Reduce pre-heated oven to 400 degrees, immediately place danish into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes-until lightly golden brown.
Remove baked danish from the oven and allow time to cool.
While the danish cool, make the icing:
Combine powdered sugar and milk and mix until smooth.
Drizzle over cooled danish, dust with extra powdered sugar, serve and enjoy!
Cook’s Note:
I like to eat my cranberry cream cheese danish warm so I do not let the danish completely cool.
