Ingredients
  

Danish & Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • Puff Pastry (2 sheets)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon Zest

Icing

  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2-4 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl add 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 egg yolk, vanilla extract and the zest of 1 lemon. Then, beat on high speed using an electric hand mixer until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Then unfold 1 package of thawed puff pastry and begin rolling out each sheet of puff pastry lengthwise about 2 inches. so that they measure (9×11 inches).
  • Now cut off the top 2 corners of the puff pastry. And set them aside.
  • Then using your scissors begin making slits into the dough along both sides. You’ll want to make about 9-10 slits per side. See where the puff pastry is was folded into 3rds, make sure not to cut past that line.
  • Once you get to the last strip at the bottom you’ll be left with 2 flaps, just cut those off.
  • Then split your cream cheese filling among both Danishes, keeping the filling contained in the middle of the puff pastry.
  • Fold over the top flap and begin crossing over the strips for the braid. You want to just switch from right to left until you get to the last 2 strips. Fold bottom flap up and cross the last 2 strips over. Gently transfer the Danishes over to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl make your egg wash by combing 1 egg with 1 tsp of water. Give a good thorough swish then brush it over the Danishes.
  • Then bake them in a preheated 400 degrees oven for about 18-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Remove the Danishes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
  • In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2-4 tbsp of heavy cream. Once the pastry has cooled you can begin drizzling the glaze on top. ENJOY!
