How to Make Cherry Cheese Danish
- Preheat the oven 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Next, in a mixing bowl combine 8 oz. of cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice & a pinch of salt. Whisk with hand mixer until everything is combined.
- Next, put puff pastry on a baking sheet and roll it to create a rectangle. After, add half of cream cheese filling onto the center of puff pastry. Spread cheese filling 2-3 inches wide.
- Next, add 1/2 of cherry filling over the cream cheese. Using a pizza cutter cut the sides into skinny strips about 1 inch wide, on both sides.
- Braid the pastry by folding strips in, from both sides. Take one side and curve it to make it look like a candy cane. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet using the rest of the cream cheese and cherry filling.
- Now, lets make an egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 1 tablespoons of water. Brush egg wash over the pastry. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden color. After pastry is done baking, remove from the oven and make glaze to drizzle on top.
