Cherry Cream Cheese Danish

What You Need
Ready made Puff Pastry (1 sheet)
Cherry pie filling (or fruit of choice)

Cream cheese mixture
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.


To Make It
  1. I cut the sheet of thawed pastry into 9 squares. 
  2. Then spread the cream cheese mixture on a diagonal.  Added a few cherries
  3. Pulled the opposite corners up and pinched them together. 
  4. Brushed with a bit of egg wash and baked at 400-425 until golden brown, about 15 minutes in my oven. 
  5. Let them cool slightly before drizzling with the icing.
