Instructions
Creating Raspberry Cheesecake Danish Pastry can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the beaten egg and mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut it into squares (about 4×4 inches).
4. Add Filling: Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Top with a few raspberries.
5. Fold Pastry: Fold the corners of the pastry square towards the center, pinching to seal. Alternatively, you can leave the center open for a more rustic look.
6. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust the pastries with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
