#2: Strawberry Danish

Ingredients

For the Danish

• 1 X 250g frozen puff pastry sheet, cut into squares and lightly thawed
• 75g cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
• 150g strawberries, sliced
• 1 egg, for brushing the pastry

 

For the Lemon Icing Drizzle

• ½ cup icing sugar
• ½ lemon juice and zest

 

 

How to Make It

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Using an electric whisk, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla paste together.
2. Roll the pastry onto a floured surface, and cut into 4 equal squares. Using a sharp knife, score a 1cm border around the pastry, or fold it into a triangle and slice through either of the sides (remembering to leave a ½ cm gap intact at the peak of the triangle) and fold the border over to create a diamond shape.
3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the base of the pastry and top with sliced strawberries. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
4. To make the icing, combine icing sugar, zest and enough lemon juice for a runny consistency. Once the Danish has cooled slightly and drizzle with the icing mix.
