📖 Recipe
30+ Cream Cheese Desserts: Cheese Danish & More
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry thawed
- 230 g Cream cheese
- ⅓ cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Egg for the egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 200c (400f), and let your puff pastry thaw for about 30-40 minutes or until it's easy to work with.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry slightly and cut it into 12 even rectangles using a pizza cutter. (we used two puff pastry sheets. every sheet is cut into 6 rectangles)
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Cream the mixture with an electric hand mixer or a whisk until it's creamy and smooth.
- Use a butter knife to make a smaller rectangle into each danish piece. Top the smaller rectangle with about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Spread it around and keep it in a small rectangle. Repeat until you run out of the mixture.
- Into a small mixing bowl, add 1 egg and a tablespoon of water or milk. Mix with a fork. Brush the sides of the danishes with the egg wash. We like topping the danishes with demerara sugar for extra sweetness and crunch.
- Bake the danishes in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on the danishes so they won't burn.
- Top the cheese danishes with powder sugar and serve next to a cup of coffee or tea! Another way to serve these is with a simple glaze that is made with powder sugar and milk or water.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Feel free to make the cheese danishes in whatever size you'd like. You can make these smaller or bigger. We cut ours into 12 cheese danishes.
- Make sure that you are using room-temperature cream cheese in this recipe, this step makes it easier to mix the cream cheese with no unnecessary lumps, we don’t want that.
- Use high-fat cream cheese or the well-known Philadelphia cream cheese. Using full-fat cream cheese ensures you that your filling will be stable and will not crack.
- Keep an eye on the danishes when they are baking! They are easy to burn.
- If you have a cookie scoop, use it to scoop out the filling to the danishes so they will bake evenly.
- Make these cheese danishes your own by adding or topping them with your favorite flavors. Add a teaspoon of jam, chocolate chips, lemon zest, fresh fruit, berries, etc.
