How To Make Blueberry Danishes with Puff Pastry

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!

StorIng and Reheating Blueberry Danishes

Store the danishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or enjoy cold.
