Blueberry Danishes
These homemade Blueberry Danishes are made with puff pastry, a delightful cream cheese mixture, and blueberries, all finished with a simple powdered sugar glaze. They're ready in just 30 minutes and are absolutely scrumptious!
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry 2 ct. package
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 ounces granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon water
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar plus 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixer cream the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, flour, 1 egg yolk and the lemon zest. Continue mixing until fully combined.
- In a small bowl whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an eggwash. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon two tablespoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. Top with your desired amount of blueberries.
- Brush the edges with the eggwash and bake for 16-18 minutes.
- While the danishes are cooling whisk together the powdered sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth.
- Once the danishes are cool, drizzle with the glaze. Enjoy!
