Notes

  • If you prefer you can use strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, apples or even pears, if you use bigger fruits for this cream cheese danish recipe then I would suggest chopping them into small pieces.
  • Any leftovers need to be refrigerated. Store in an airtight container or wrap well in plastic wrap. They will keep for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Wrap the completely cooled baked pastries in plastic wrap then place in a freezer bag or container, they will keep for up to three months in the freezer.
  • Let them thaw in the fridge then bring to room temperature before serving, half an hour should be enough time. Don’t leave them out too long because of the cream cheese.
