Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish

Recipe Description

Take a shortcut with store-bought puff pastry and make this easy Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish. Flaky light layers of puff pastry, sweet cream cheese flavored with vanilla extract, and fresh blueberries are all baked together to create these delectable pastries. Finish them off with a light dusting of powdered sugar, and enjoy! Easy to make and so delicious.

This recipe is extremely easy to make. Start with the filling. Simply combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry and cut it into six squares. Score each square to create a ½-inch border on the dough. Spoon the filling down the center of the puff pastry and top with the blueberries. Using a pastry brush, spread the egg wash onto the border edges of the pastry. Bake until golden brown and puffed. Let the pastries cool for 5 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm. Yummy!
