Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened, 250 grams)
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh)
- ¼ cup blueberry jam
- 2 heets puff pastry (thawed, homemade or store-bought)
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- 1 lemon (zested, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets or baking trays with parchment paper. Place oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, icing sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a fork or use a handheld mixer. Mix until evenly combined. (Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature or else your mixture will have lumps. You can microwave the cream cheese on a microwave safe plate for 15-30 seconds to ensure it is softened).
- Add the blueberries and jam to a small bowl and stir until evenly combined.
- On a lightly floured cutting board or kitchen counter, unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 9 evenly sized rectangle pieces of pastry (3 x 3 grid cut).
- Carefully use a knife, to score the pastry to create a smaller rectangle leaving about ⅓” edge. This step will help the puff pastry rise nicely on the edges. Refer to picture.
- Gently brush this edge of each danish with the egg wash.
- Add the cheese filling to the center (approximately 1 ½ tbsp) and spread just to the edge of the smaller rectangle outline without covering the ⅓” edge.
- Top the cheese filling with the fruit mixture. Optional: add a sprinkle of granulated sugar around the edges of the pastry.
- Repeat with the second sheet of pastry.
- Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking trays. Space the pastries 2" apart as they will expand while baking.
- Place in the preheated oven and allow to bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges start to puff and turn golden in colour.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving and then top with lemon zest (optional). Serve and enjoy!
