Easy Cherry Cream Cheese Danish

By pumpkinpassion

Ingredients

• 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)
• lemon juice (just a splash)
• Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds and mix in the sugar, vanilla, and lemon. The amounts are really just to taste.
• Drizzle icing:
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 2-3 tsp orange juice or until you get the right consistency.

Preparation

Step 1

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!
