How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares or rectangles.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry piece.
Top with a spoonful of blueberry filling.
Fold or shape the pastry edges as desired (pinch corners or create a border).
Brush the edges with beaten egg.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over the danishes.
