Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish is my favorite decadent treat to make at breakfast time as a surprise for my family. Using store-bought puff pastry dough with a mixture of cream cheese and strawberry jam, this recipe could not be any easier.

This Strawberry Danish is a fantastic addition to any brunch buffet, so they’re perfect for Easter or Christmas morning.  You’ll wow your guests because they are elegant and impressive, but very simple to make.

I love this strawberry danish recipe so very much! Once you get the hang of it, you can easily make other flavors by substituting your favorite jam.  Mr. Juggling Act loves when I make these with raspberry jam, too.  Blueberry would be delicious as well.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • egg wash

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp strawberry jam
  • milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese until soft and creamy. Add in the sugar and vanilla and mix to combine.
  • Use a spatula to fold in the jam gently.
  • Unroll the sheet of puff pastry and use a knife to cut it into four squares. Divide the strawberry cream cheese mixture between the four squares.
  • In a small bowl, beat together an egg and a tablespoon of water to make the egg wash. Brush three sides of the dough with the egg wash. Fold the dough over to make a rectangle.
  • Use a fork to seal the edges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastries with the egg wash.
  • Bake the danishes for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar and ham. Add a little milk to thin the icing without making it too runny.
  • Remove the danishes to a cooling rack and let cool for 3-4 minutes before drizzling with the icing.

Here’s a few tips on making these Strawberry Cream Cheese Croissants: The key to flaky pastry is to keep it cold, so keep the puff pastry dough in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. For a smooth filling, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature. These pastries will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, if they last that long!
