Servings: 18
Equipment
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips about 1 tablespoon per danish
- 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and flour. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.
- Place the puff pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each square, leaving a border around the edges.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of milk chocolate chips over the cream cheese filling on each square.
- Brush the exposed edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the danishes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a sweeter finish, dust them with powdered sugar or sprinkle some granulated sugar around the pastry edges before baking.
- Keep an eye on them toward the end of baking since you want the pastry golden brown, not overly dark.
