This Strawberry Cheesecake Danish features flaky puff pastry filled with creamy cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries. A delicious bakery-style pastry perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
For the Danish:
120g cream cheese, room temperature
30g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 strawberries, thinly sliced
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 small egg
1 tsp water
Sugar, for sprinkling
For the Glaze:
40g icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Score a border about 1 cm from the edge of each square without cutting all the way through.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into the center of each pastry square, keeping it inside the border.
Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash and lightly sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the danishes to cool for 10 minutes.
To make the glaze, whisk together the icing sugar and milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled danishes before serving.
Use cold puff pastry for the flakiest texture.
Fresh strawberries work best, but other berries can be substituted.
Allow the cream cheese to reach room temperature for a smoother filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
