👩🍳 How to Prepare:
1. Preheat oven & prepare puff pastry:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 9 equal squares.
2. Make the cream cheese filling:
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the danishes:
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a small spoonful of cherry pie filling.
4. Shape the danishes:
Fold each square’s corners toward the center, slightly overlapping them. Press gently to seal.
5. Add egg wash:
Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the danishes to give them a golden finish when baked.
6. Bake:
Place danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool & serve:
Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
