Time 45m

Yield 8 Danish

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth. With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
  • Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife. Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares. Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together. Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash. Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes.
  • Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 6

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Danish Dough
Cheese Filling for Cheese Danish
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sugar, for sprinkling
Sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 13-inch square, a little over a 1/4-inch thick. Using a ruler and a pizza wheel or pastry cutter, trim the edges of the dough to form a 12-inch square. Then cut the dough into nine 4-inch squares.
  • Dollop about 1 tablespoon cheese filling into the center of each 4-inch square of pastry.
  • To form each Danish, brush each corner with beaten egg, fold the upper right corner over the filling, about two-thirds of the way toward the opposite corner; press down firmly to seal. Bring the lower left corner up and over first fold, pressing down to adhere. (Be careful not to fold too tightly, or you may force out some of the filling.) Repeat with the remaining corners. Place the Danish on the prepared baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest in a warm place until dough is doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush dough with the beaten egg; sprinkle with the granulated sugar, if desired. Bake, rotating halfway through, until evenly brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. These are best eaten the same day they are made.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and creamy cheese filling, use high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature. Softened cream cheese will blend more easily and will result in a lump-free filling.
  • To enhance the flavor of the filling, use a combination of cheeses. Try mixing cream cheese with mascarpone, ricotta, or goat cheese for a rich and complex flavor.
  • Add some spices or herbs to the filling for an extra kick of flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, or lemon zest are all popular choices.
  • If you are using a store-bought puff pastry sheet, make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before using it. Puff pastry that is too cold will be difficult to work with and will not rise properly.
  • To prevent the cheese filling from leaking out of the danish, brush the edges of the pastry sheet with egg wash before filling it. The egg wash will help to seal the edges of the pastry and prevent the filling from seeping out.
  • Bake the cheese danish until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set. The exact baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the danish.

Conclusion:

Cheese danish is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a cheese danish that is both delicious and beautiful. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
