- Puff Pastry – One package of puff pastry for the base of the Danishes. Using premade puff pastry helps to save time, plus it is delicious.
- Cream Cheese – You will need 1 block of cream cheese that has been softened at room temperature.
- Sugars – Both granulated sugar and powdered sugar are needed for this recipe.
- Vanilla Extract
- Flour – Plain all-purpose flour is used to thicken the cream cheese filling.
- Eggs – One egg yolk is used in the cream cheese filling. One whole egg plus one tablespoon of water is needed for an eggwash.
- Lemon – A little lemon zest for additional flavor in the cream cheese filling. While optional, the lemon zest helps to brighten up the danish.
- Blueberries – You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this easy blueberry cream cheese danish recipe.
- Heavy Cream
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 1/2-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.
