Cream cheese mixture:
Ready made Puff Pastry (1 sheet)
Cherry pie filling (or fruit of choice)
Half block of cream cheese (4oz)
1 Tbs sugar
vanilla extract (few drops)

Drizzle icing:
1 cup of powdered sugar
2-3 tsp orange juice or until you get the right consistency.

Steps:

  • I cut the sheet of pastry into 9 squares. Then spread the cream cheese mixture on a diagonal. Added a few cherries... And pulled the opposite corners up and pinched them together. Brush with a bit of egg wash and bake at 400-425 until golden brown, about 15 minutes in my oven. Pour a cup of coffee and enjoy. These would be great for a brunch table, too!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c crisco
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
4 eggs
3 c flour
1 can(s) cherry pie filling
GLAZE
2 c confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease a jelly roll pan. Blend the following ingredients with a mixer: sugar, butter, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, almond extract and eggs. If you aren't in the habit of keeping almond extract around, just replace it with vanilla. If a little vanilla is good, more is better! Blend on low, then turn up the mixer to high for 3 minutes.
  • 2. Add the flour and blend by hand. Spread 2/3 of the batter in the jelly roll pan. Spread the pie filling over the batter and then, drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls onto the pie filling.
  • 3. Bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Don't let it brown too much! While the cake is still slightly warm, drizzle with glaze.
  • 4. Directions for Glaze
  • 5. 1 Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together.
  • 6. 2 Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze.
  • 7. 3 Spread or pour immediately over warm Danish.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter before you start making the dough. This will make it easier to work with and will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Keep the dough cold. This will help to prevent it from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with. You can chill the dough for up to 30 minutes before using it.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help to create clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overfill the cherry filling. Otherwise, it will spill out of the pastries as they bake.
  • Bake the pastries until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Cherry Danish is a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet cherry filling, and creamy glaze, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this cherry Danish recipe a try.
