Quick and Easy (semi) Homemade Danish Pastries!! Fruit and Cheese Danish Recipe
Learn how to make quick and easy (semi) homemade cheese and fruit danish pastries!! These are super easy, super delicious and take about 20 minutes to make. No need to slave for hours making puff pastry from scratch. ;-)
What you'll need:
11-12 oz roll of crescent rolls
2 oz cream cheese
2 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
assorted jams and preserves or pie filling (raspberry, cherry, strawberry, apricot, blueberry, lemon, etc)
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp milk
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into rectangles of dough using two triangles. Pinch closed the diagonal cut to form one solid sheet of dough. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut dough into approx. 1 x 8 strips of dough. Gently lift dough and twist opposite ends in opposing directions into a loose rope. Spiral the rope around itself to form a loose circle/spiral. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with a baking mat, spacing danishes about 2 apart. Press the centers with a finger to make a well for the filling.
For the cheese filling, combine cream cheese and 1 Tbsp sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
Spoon about 1 tsp of filling into the center of each danish. Bake at 375*F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
When done, brush with melted butter to keep danishes soft. Make an icing by combing the powdered sugar with the milk and drizzle over top of danishes. Serve warm. Makes approx. 12 (4) danish pastries. Enjoy!!

????????????????????INSTRUCTIONS ????????????????????????
1. In a large bowl add 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract and the zest of 1 lemon. Make sure to only use the yellow part and avoid the white rind since its very bitter.
2. Alright now that you have all your filling ingredients in the bowl, beat it on high speed using an electric hand mixer until the filling is smooth and creamy.
3. Now set that aside and lightly flour your work surface. Then unfold 1 lb package of thawed puff pastry and begin rolling out each sheet of puff pastry lengthwise about 2 inches. so that they measure (9x11 inches).
4. Now cut off the top 2 corners of the puff pastry. And set them aside. Don’t toss them. Bake those along with the danish and eat them with some jam or Nutella.
5. Take your kitchen shears and begin making slits into the dough along both sides. You’ll want to make about 9-10 slits per side. See where the puff pastry is was folded into 3rds, make sure not to cut past that line.
6. Once you get to the last strip at the bottom you’ll be left with 2 flaps, just cut those off and set them aside to bake with the other corner scraps.
Add the cheese filling
7. Now split your cream cheese filling among both danishes, keeping the filling contained in the middle third of the puff pastry.
8. Now fold over the top flap and begin crossing over the strips for the braid. So you’ll want to just switch from right to left until you get to the last 2 strips. Fold the bottom flap up and cross the last 2 strips over.
9. Now you want to gently transfer the danishes over to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Then make your egg wash by combing 1 egg with 1 tsp of water. Give a good thorough swish then brush it over the danishes using a pastry brush.
11. Now place the danishes in the oven and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Remove the cheese danishes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
12. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tbsp of heavy cream. Once the pastry has cooled to almost room temperature you can begin drizzling the glaze on top.

RECIPE
------
▪165g or 2/3c warm water (86F/30C)
▪165g or 2/3c whole milk (room temp)
▪50g or 4Tbsp sugar
▪8g or 3tsp instant yeast
▪10g or 1 3/4tsp salt
▪540g or 4 1/3c all purpose flour
▪40g or 3tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
▪225g or 1/2lb unsalted butter, softened
▪Egg wash (egg with splash of milk)
Add water, milk, sugar, yeast, salt and flour to stand mixer and mix on low speed using dough hook for 2-3min or until well combined. Add 40g of softened butter, 1 piece at a time. Once added, increase mixer speed to medium and continue mixing for 3-4 min until butter is incorporated.
Move the dough to a bowl, round off dough ball as shown @1:00, cover, and set aside to ferment for 90 minutes.
Measure and fold 2 sheets of parchment into an 8”x12” (20cmx30cm) rectangle as shown @1:38. Place 225g butter block between sheets of folded parchment and flatten and spread out butter so that you have a thin 8”x12” rectangle of butter. Place parchment/butter sheet onto a tray and refrigerate to firm up.
After the dough has fermented at room temp for 90 minutes, flour dough ball and work surface then transfer dough to work surface. Roll dough into about a 10” (25cm) x 18-20” (46-50cm) rectangle. Place piece of parchment to cover bottom half of dough as shown @3:39 then fold top half of dough over bottom half with the parchment. Cover with a towel and chill for 15min.
Before using butter, allow to temper slightly so that it’s still firm but malleable. Place butter on bottom ⅔ of dough then fold/laminate butter into dough as shown @5:37. Once laminated/folded roll out into a 12”x8” (30x20cm) rectangle, place on a tray, cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Remove dough from fridge and pound and roll out into about a 16” x 10” (40x25cm) rectangle. Place onto fridge one last time to chill and relax for 20 min.
To finish shaping, lightly flour dough then roll into a ½” (1-2cm) thick rectangle (you can cut and freeze half for later if you’d like). Cut into either circles or triangles and shape as shown @8:52 and place on oiled parchment on a sheet tray.
Add filling to center of danishes. 2oz/50g or so if making the larger rounds or 1oz/25g or so if making the smaller triangles. Press the filling down slightly.
Cover, and allow to rise at room temp for 90 minutes. If desired, add fruit jam to center of the cheese filling. Brush egg wash on exposed dough. Bake at 425F/220C for 16-20mins until golden brown.
Allow to cool for 15 min. Once cooled, glaze if you dare.
