Make sure the puff pastry has been fully thawed and kept refrigerated before using it. The key to the puff pastry remaining flaky is to keep it cold.
STEP 1
Mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar, vanilla extract, flour, egg yolk and lemon zest. Mix until fully combined.
STEP 2
Lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equally sized rectangles. Score each square leaving an ½-inch border.
STEP 3
Pierce the centers of each rectangle with a fork several times. This helps prevent the puff pastry from rising too much in the centers. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
STEP 4
Spoon two tablespoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. Top with your desired amount of blueberries.
STEP 5
Brush the edges with the eggwash and bake for 16-18 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the danishes before serving. Enjoy!
Store the danishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or enjoy cold.
