Ingredients
  

Danishes
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 113 g cream cheese softened
  • 60 g powdered sugar
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract alcohol-free
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced small
  • 1 egg egg beaten for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp turbinado or coarse sugar
Glaze
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract alcohol-free
  • 1 drop pink food coloring optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Thaw puff pastry in refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30-40 minutes. Don’t microwave—it makes pastry soggy.
  2. Dice strawberries small so they fit nicely in heart shapes. Large chunks prevent sealing.

Notes

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
