Ingredients
- 1 heet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup peach jelly
- 2 peaches pitted and sliced (see note)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out on a lightly floured work surface into a rectangle that is 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 6 equal rectangles. (I use a # layout to make the cuts.) Place the rectangles onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly score the puff pastry pieces by drawing a smaller rectangle within each dough piece (like a picture frame). This creates a "ring" around the outside of each danish that will puff up. Use a fork to prick the middle of each puff pastry piece several times so it does not rise like the outer ring will.
- Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese inside the "ring" of each puff pastry. Top the cream cheese with a thin layer of peach jelly. Finish the danishes by topping the jelly with 2 peach slices.
- Make a simple egg wash by mixing the egg and water together in a small bowl. Then brush the egg wash around the outer edge of the puff pastry.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
- While the pastries cool, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a medium bowl.
- Once the pastries have cooled to room temperature, drizzle the glaze over the danishes and enjoy!

Notes
- You can use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones. Just make sure to thaw the frozen peaches and pat them dry with paper towels before using them.
