Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Strawberry Topping
- Combine your sliced strawberries with cornstarch and sugar in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
Cream Cheese Filling
- Cream the cream cheese and sugar until smooth in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla, and salt and beat until completely combined.
Pastry
- Working with one pastry sheet at a time (keep the other in the fridge), roll it out gently to get rid of any creases and make one big rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into four equal size squares with either a pizza or pastry cutter.
- Fold the corners over of each of the squares (about an inch) to create an octagon out of each of your puff pastry squares.
- Top each pastry with a medium size scoop of cream cheese mixture. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to slightly flatten scoop.
- Beat together egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash all over the pastry around the cream cheese mixture, not under it.
- Top each of the cream cheese mixtures with sliced strawberries
- Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes.
- While danishes are baking, make your other set. Or if you have two ovens, you can bake both at the same time in separate ovens.
- Once the danishes come out of the oven, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing.
Notes
- Thaw the puff pastry overnight (comes frozen) for the best baking results. When you wake up, it should be nice and chilled, but no longer frozen, and perfect for strawberry danishes!
- Reheat leftovers either in the microwave for 15 seconds or put them in a cold oven, preheat to 350, and let them warm up naturally with the oven (my personal favorite way, but it takes longer than 15 seconds).
- Try topping with various things – powdered sugar, vanilla glaze, chocolate sauce – really anything would be yummy on these!
- Bake the danishes one sheet at a time. If you try to bake two sheets in one oven at a time, you’ll end up with one set overcooked and one set undercooked.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days. Warm up in the microwave or oven as mentioned above.
