cream cheese danish

These cream cheese Danish are exactly what your brunch calls for. They're flaky, creamy, sweet, tart, and bursting with flavor. Not to mention how easy they are to make!

Fruity Cream Cheese Danish

puff pastry, thawed

oz cream cheese, softened

sugar

vanilla

almond extract (optional)

lemon juice

strawberries*

raspberries*

cornstarch flour

egg egg

tsp water, milk, or lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

To make the cream cheese filling, mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, extracts, and lemon juice until smooth. Start off with a fork to loosen up the mixture then switch to a whisk to remove any lumps. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together the Bonne Maman INTENSE Red Fruits Fruit Spread, berries, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Unfold the thawed puff pastry and lay it flat onto a floured surface or sheet of parchment paper. Roll it out just until the seams are blended, rolling a couple times both length and width-wise.

Slice the puff pastry in half right down the middle lengthwise using a pizza cutter. Slice each half into 3 rectangles width-wise, along the blended seams, to make 6 Danish. 

Transfer the sheets onto a baking tray and make sure they&#8217;re evenly spaced apart. Use a knife to score a 1/4 inch border around the outside. This allows the edges to rise in order to contain the filling. Don&#8217;t cut all the way through, but just enough to leave behind a clear border.

Lightly brush the edges with an egg wash. Whisk together the egg with 2 teaspoons of milk or water and use a pastry brush to apply. This helps the edges turn golden brown and glossy once baked.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each Danish. The filling makes the exact amount for 6 Danish, so use it all up. Spread the filling within the border using the back of a spoon.

Dollop the fruit filling into the center of the cream cheese. Don&#8217;t overcrowd the cream cheese layer, as you should be able to see the cream cheese peeking out from under the fruit (see post for reference photo).

Bake the Danish on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until evenly puffed with golden brown edges.

When they&#8217;re still warm on the baking sheet, brush the tops with a little extra fruit spread. This adds a glossy shine and extra fruity flavor.

Transfer the Danish to a cooling rack. They&#8217;re best served fresh and warm. See notes in the blog post about prepping the Danish ahead so they&#8217;re ready to bake in the morning.

As an optional topping, whisk together the powdered sugar and liquid of choice until it reaches a thin glue-like consistency. If it&#8217;s too thick, add a touch more liquid. Too thin, add a bit more sugar. Drizzle on top of the warm Danish and enjoy!

These danishes were a great addition to our ladies brunch party for my sisters birthday. So beautiful and delicious!! Definitely a recipe I would make again.

These were super easy to make and absolutely delicious!  I have made them twice now and cut back slightly on the sugar in the cream cheese the second time to keep a little bit more of the tang.

This Cheese Danish Recipe will blow your socks off! It's not only so easy but also so SO delicious and drizzled with icing on top!

Easy Cheese Danish Recipe

tube crescent rolls

cream cheese (softened)

vanilla extract

all purpose flour

heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla. Set aside.

Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up width wise. Dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan.

Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes. Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough. Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet.

Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish.

Cut into pieces and serve.

cream cheese, (softened)

almond extract

(8-count) roll refrigerated crescent roll dough

cherry pie filling

milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Set aside.Note: If you don&#39;t have an electric mixer, you can use a wooden spoon.

Open the container of crescent rolls, but do NOT unroll the dough.Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut through the log of dough to form 10 slices.

Flatten each piece of dough and build up the sides a little so that it is like a saucer.

Place the dough rounds on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.Drop a spoonful of cream cheese mixture on each one and top with a spoonful of cherry mixture.

Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden around the edges.If some of the cherries slide off, just spoon them back onto the danishes.

Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Once danishes have cooled slightly, drizzle glaze on them.

For The Cream Cheese Filling

Unroll puff pastries and on a lightly floured surface, gently roll dough to seal the seams.

Place dough on prepared baking sheet and add ½ of the cream cheese mixture down the center of the pastry leaving 1½ inch free from filling at both ends.

Cut two slits at each end of the pastry about 1 inch long and fold over the top of the filling and secure to prevent mixture from leaking out.Next cut off the top and bottom side pieces at an angle (see photo) and continue to make cuts into the pastry along each side making sure not to cut too close to the filling.

Once cherry filling has cooled, add ½ of the cherry filling on top of the cream cheese. Repeat  steps for the second puff pastry sheet.

Once the ends have been secured over the filling, start folding each piece over each other like a braid and secure.

Brush with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Assembling The Danish

In a small bowl, add powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy cream. Stir until blended.

Once Danish is pulled from the oven and has cooled a bit, drizzle glaze over the top of both pastries, slice and enjoy!

For The Glaze

This Cream Cheese Danish recipe is so easy to make! The cheese danish filling tastes just like cheesecake and the fresh berries and lemon glaze add a bright pop of flavor. 

puff pastry (2 sheets) (thawed)

oz cream cheese (room temperature)

egg yolk (room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

lemon lemon

berries ((blueberries, strawberries, raspberries))

lemon

Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions. Preheat Oven to 400˚F with a rack in the center of the oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner.&nbsp;

In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp lemon zest. Beat together on medium/high speed until creamy and smooth.

Unfold the first puff pastry sheet onto a clean work surface and roll lightly into a 10"x10" square. Use a pizza cutter to slice each sheet into 12 even strips.

Combine 2 of the strips by tightly pinching two ends together then twist the strand from top to bottom. Press one end onto your work surface and loop the twisted strand around it, working from the center out. Pinch the end to attach it to the pastry.  Flatten the center slightly with fingertips and poke the center a few times with a fork to prevent the center from puffing up too much.

Place 1 Tbsp of the filling into the center and press the berries halfway into the cream. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for the remaining strands and second sheet of puff pastry. Transfer filled pastries to lined baking sheet, keeping at least 1/2" space between them.&nbsp;

How to Make Cream Cheese Danish:

In a small bowl, combine 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water. Beat together thoroughly with a fork.

Brush outside edges with egg wash and bake in the center of the oven at 400˚F for 18 -20 min. Let cool completely to room temperature so the cream cheese filling sets properly then drizzle with lemon glaze.

Fold each corner in about 1 inch towards the center and gently press to adhere. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Brush any exposed pastry with egg white.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry.

Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate pans and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let cool on the baking sheet while making the glaze.

EASY Cheese Danish Recipe

Use crescent roll dough to make a fast and delicious Cinnamon Apple Danish Recipe. It’s seriously so simple to throw together and tastes amazing fresh out of the oven!

Cinnamon Apple Danish Recipe

butter

apple

cinnamon

oz cream cheese (softened (1 package))

all-purpose flour

heavy cream (plus more if needed)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add in apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes.

While apples are cooking, in a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla. Set aside.

Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up width wise. The dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes. Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough. Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Top with cooked apples.

Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.

Bake for 20 minutes or until filling is set and the crescent dough is golden in color. Cool at least 20 minutes before removing from baking sheet.

Once danish has cooled, remove to a serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish.

Everything about these cream cheese danishes will bring holiday joy to your kitchen! Twirls of crescent dough layered with cream cheese and baked with a pool of strawberry jam and a buttery glaze on top to finish. Add in those sugared cranberries to bring it right over the top! 

Cream Cheese Danishes with Sugared Cranberries and Vanilla Butter Glaze

roll Bake House Creations Crescent Rolls

Happy Farms Cream Cheese

egg milk (for egg wash)

warm melted Countryside Creamery Butter

cranberries

Make the sugared cranberries

Boil 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add washed and dried cranberries to the pot; stir to combine. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and let cool for one hour (to make them sticky and not overly wet). Once cool and sticky, toss with the remaining 3/4 cup sugar to coat.

Make the cream cheese danishes

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Unroll the croissant dough out into one flat piece, and place on a clean work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out and press the seams together. You want to make a solid rectangle that is just a bit bigger than the original shape.

Using a butter knife, spread the cream cheese evenly over the croissant dough. Sprinkle with sugar.

Cut the dough into 4 long strips. Fold each strip in half (so the cream cheese isn&#8217;t getting all over your hands) and then twist each strip into a long rope. Roll the rope into a spiral to make the shape of the danish. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Mix the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush each danish with egg wash and dollop each danish with 1-2 tablespoons of the jam. Bake for 10 minutes; increase temperature to 400 and bake for 3-5 more minutes to get desired browning.

Finish and glaze

Remove from oven and let cool. While cooling, whisk the glaze ingredients together.

Top each danish with a few sugared cranberries (see notes below) and drizzle with glaze. I really (like, really) enjoy eating these warm. The cream cheese layer, the jammy goodness, the tart crunch from the cranberries&#8230; oof. So good!

Easy Cream Cheese Danishes

(17.3 oz) box puff pastry dough, thawed

(8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

Unroll thawed puff pastry dough on a cutting board and slice into 12 evenly sized rectangles.

Use a small knife to score a border around each rectangle about ½ inch from the edge, not cutting all the way through dough. Pierce the center of each rectangle with a fork a few times to prevent rising.

Transfer the scored rectangles to an un-greased baking sheet, placing them at least 1 inch apart (use two baking sheets if necessary).

Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Spoon filling into the center of each rectangle and spread just until the border cut.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puff pastry is a light golden brown.

In a small bowl, mix together icing ingredients until smooth.

Allow danishes to cool for 10-12 minutes then drizzle icing over the top.

This buttery, flaky, and budget-friendly Cheese Danish recipe is ridiculously easy to make and can be on your table in under a half hour.

cream cheese, softened (2.19)

tsp vanilla extract (0.58)

salt (0.01)

puff pastry, thawed (2.75)

egg,

tsp vanilla extract (0.15)

Tbsp milk (0.03)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your oven&#39;s rack in the center and preheat it to 400°F. Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, egg yolk, and salt until smooth and light in texture.

Unfold the sheet of puff pastry, dust off excess flour, and place it on the baking sheet. Cut down the seams of the folds so you have three equal-sized strips. Cut the strips into halves.

Use a fork to perforate around the sides of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a half-inch border. This prevents the puff pastry from rising in the middle.

Add 2 heaping tablespoons of your cream cheese mixture to each square. Spread evenly, making sure to leave the borders clean.

Beat the egg white until frothy. Dip a pastry brush into the beaten egg white and trace lightly along the borders. This will give the puff pastry a glossy finish and golden color.

Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes then rotate the baking sheet, front to back. Continue to bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the borders of the puff pastry have risen and are golden brown. Use a spatula to remove the pastries from the sheet pan and cool on a rack.

In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Finally, drizzle over cooled Cheese Danish and watch your loved ones gobble them down! Optional: drizzle with 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam thinned with 1 teaspoon of water.

This recipe for a Homemade Cream Cheese Danish could not be easier to make thanks to taking a shortcut and using store-bought puff pastry.

Easy Cheese Danish with Puff Pastry

package) puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

egg yolk (for filling)

lemon zest

egg egg wash)

Preheat Oven

Prepare

In a large mixing bowl, mix together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 egg yolk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, and ¼ cup powdered sugar with a handheld mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Roll

Unroll the puff pastry and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly roll out the puff pastry just to remove lines from the packaging. Spread cream cheese filling down the center of the puff pastry, in about a 2 to 3-inch wide section. If you are adding any toppings to the cheese danish, add to the top of the cream cheese mixture at this time.

Braid

Cut ½-inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough and then fold those pieces over the filling, alternating sides to resemble a braided pattern. Tuck any excess dough under the ends to seal the danish.

Make Egg Wash

In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the exposed puff pastry with the egg wash.

Bake

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before glazing.

Prepare Glaze

For the glaze, whisk 1 cup of  powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. You want the mixture to drizzle slowly off a fork. Add 1 tablespoon more powdered sugar at a time to thicken or 1/2 teaspoon more lemon juice to thin.

Glaze

Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled Cheese Danish. Let the glaze harden for 5-10 minutes and then slice and serve.

I wish I would have read things a little more carefully. I used the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry and didn't realize I was supposed to use both sheets. I only used one and it has the biggest cream cheese filling mound in it that I've ever seen lol. I'm going to make this again using 2 because this recipe is really good.

The recipe is based just on just a cream cheese filling.   Can reduce cream cheese amount by half  if adding lemon curd on top of cream cheese filling.   Actually recommend a 50/50 mix of cream cheese &amp; fruit.

Never left a review before but wanted to share that 8oz of cream cheese is too much. I’d use 2/3 of that amount. Same amount of conf sugar

I wasn't a fan of the lemon in the cream cheese, but that's a personal preference.  Made this for Easter breakfast at church and it was a hit!.  I did one with fresh blueberries and one with raspberry preserves.  If I make it again, I don't think I'd use quite as much cream cheese in the middle.

This was very good and pretty easy to make. I added cherry pie filling on top, next time I will try chocolate chips.  Thanks for sharing!

Well not as pretty as yours the flavor superb. This was my first time using puff pastry and trying a fancy braid covering. Next time hopefully I’ll be able to get it like the picture.
