Ingredients

  • 1 box (17.3 ounce) frozen puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or other flat surface; or line your counter with a sheet of parchment paper. Gently unfold both puff pastry sheets onto surface. Use a rolling pan to flatten a bit more, if needed. Using a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut nine circles from each sheet. Place onto prepared pan. Lightly run a butter knife around the edges of each danish to score a circular border to hold filling.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto the center of each danish, spreading slightly. Place about 1 teaspoon of jam onto center of cream cheese.
  • In a small bowl, add egg and water. Gently whisk to combine. Brush edges of danish with egg wash. Sprinkle coarse sugar on edges of danish, if desired. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until danishes are golden brown.
  • To prepare glaze, whisk powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle over cooled danish.

Notes

  • Danish will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
