Easy Cheese Danish Pastries
Flaky, buttery puff pastry filled with a creamy, sweet cheese mixture—these easy cheese danish pastries are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. With minimal prep, you’ll have bakery-style treats ready in no time!
Ingredients:
1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed)
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for a hint of citrus)
Powdered sugar and milk for icing
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into squares (about 4×4 inches). To create a more classic danish shape, fold the corners slightly inward to form a round or diamond shape.
Make the Cheese Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Pastries:
Spoon a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Gently spread it out, leaving a small border around the edges.
