How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish?
• First, start with puff pastry, unfold the puff pastry sheets and lay out on a flat surface
• Use a knife to cut along the fold marks to create three equal sized strips
• Cut each strip I half to make a total of 12 rectangles and place to prepared sheet pans
• With a paring knife lightly score the dough by cutting a border ½ -inch from the edge, do not cut through the pastry
• Use a fork to poke a few holes into center area of each pastry (this allows the outside border to rise and puff up while the center stays lower and holds the filling)
• In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and strawberry jam
• Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the centers of each pastry and spread it within the scored area
• Top the cream cheese with the sliced strawberries
• Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg
• Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and puffed

Puff pastry is the key to making this cream cheese Danish recipe quickly. The dough is light and well puffy and rise with perfect golden crust around the toppings you choose. I think these Danish would be incredible with blueberries and lemon in the filling or raspberries on top. So many options to customize these!
How long do Danish Pastries Last?
As long you store it properly in the fridge, it should last up to 7 days without issues. But I highly doubt it will make it hat long, it’s just way too good to let sit there without eating!

One bite of this dessert and you are going to be able to think about nothing else. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it’s full of creamy, sweet taste, too.
