Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 1 package Frozen Puff Pastry Ensure it is thawed before use for the best flaky texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Flour Sprinkle on the surface to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries Select ripe, sweet berries for flavor and color.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Use softened for a smooth filling.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweeten the filling to balance tartness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; consider a splash of lemon juice.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large Egg Used for a golden-brown finish.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Dust a clean surface with flour, unfold thawed puff pastry, and roll into a 10.5-inch square, about ⅛-inch thick.
  3. Slice the rolled pastry into 9 squares, each measuring 3.5 inches. Place a dollop of cream cheese filling and about 4 fresh raspberries in the center of each square.
  4. Fold corners of each pastry square to the center, pinch to seal, and brush edges with egg wash.
  5. Assemble pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the pastries are chilling.
  7. After chilling, place pastries on a parchment-lined sheet and brush tops with the egg wash, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Let the baked danishes cool slightly on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
