How To Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
A treat for me as a kid was walking from my house to the St. Louis Bread Company, a family-owned, fast-casual bakery and cafe (later sold and turned into the Panera chain), and buying a snack from the pastry case. I would often get one of their cherry or blueberry and cheese danishes. It felt like a very fancy treat then, and that’s still how danishes feel to me now. Watch and follow along as Claire Saffitz walks you through her Kouign-amann recipe and creates delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Danishes.

Quick and Easy (semi) Homemade Danish Pastries!! Fruit and Cheese Danish Recipe
Learn how to make quick and easy (semi) homemade cheese and fruit danish pastries!! These are super easy, super delicious and take about 20 minutes to make. No need to slave for hours making puff pastry from scratch. ;-)
What you'll need:
11-12 oz roll of crescent rolls
2 oz cream cheese
2 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
assorted jams and preserves or pie filling (raspberry, cherry, strawberry, apricot, blueberry, lemon, etc)
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp milk
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into rectangles of dough using two triangles. Pinch closed the diagonal cut to form one solid sheet of dough. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut dough into approx. 1 x 8 strips of dough. Gently lift dough and twist opposite ends in opposing directions into a loose rope. Spiral the rope around itself to form a loose circle/spiral. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with a baking mat, spacing danishes about 2 apart. Press the centers with a finger to make a well for the filling.
For the cheese filling, combine cream cheese and 1 Tbsp sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
Spoon about 1 tsp of filling into the center of each danish. Bake at 375*F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
When done, brush with melted butter to keep danishes soft. Make an icing by combing the powdered sugar with the milk and drizzle over top of danishes. Serve warm. Makes approx. 12 (4) danish pastries. Enjoy!!

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Strawberry Pastry Diamond
Makes 9 pastries
INGREDIENTS
1 sheet thawed puff pastry
5 strawberries, halved with stems removed
9 tablespoons Cream Cheese Filling, recipe above
powdered sugar
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
Taking one of the squares, fold one of the edges to the opposite edge.
Leaving a ½ centimeter border, cut about ¾ of the way from the bottom of the triangle to the tip on both sides, making sure the cuts do not touch.
Unfold the square.
Taking the top flap, fold it towards the 2 cuts near the bottom.
Take the bottom flap and fold it towards the top edge.

Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares.
Leaving a ½ centimeter border, make 8 total cuts along the edges of the square, with each cut going about ⅓ of the way through the length of the edge. Make sure the cuts do not touch.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle of the square, then top with 4 raspberries.
Take one of the edge flaps and fold it towards the center, looping over the raspberry. Repeat with the other flaps. Place a raspberry in the center, on top of where all the flaps overlap.

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:27 Preheat oven to 400F (205C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
00:32 Prepare filling by stirring together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
01:23 Divide puff pastry into 2 even parts (If using homemade puff pastry I’ll usually cut this width-wise, if using store-bought dough it will already be divided into two even sheets for you).
02:12 Roll first half of puff pastry into a 12x12” square (about 1/16” thick). Cut into 4 even-sized squares.
02:45 Transfer squares onto prepared baking sheet. Dollop about two tablespoons of filling into the center of each square. Fold the corners over the center of the filling, leaving a space about ¼” thick in the center and between corners.
02:27 Prepare egg wash by whisking together egg and 2 teaspoons water. Brush generously over the top of the puff pastry dough.
04:55 Transfer cheese danishes to 400F (205C) preheated oven and bake for 17-19 minutes or until light golden brown. Pastries will puff a lot in the oven but will settle as they cool.
05:07 Repeat steps with second half of puff pastry dough.
05:20 Allow cheese danishes to cool before drizzling with glaze.
Glaze
05:30 To prepare glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
06:07 Drizzle glaze generously over cooled cheese danishes. Enjoy!
