Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet and cut into squares to form the base of each danish.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, followed by a spoonful of the blueberry mixture.

Step 7

Fold the corners of the squares towards the center, pressing them down gently to secure.

Step 8

Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water to create an egg wash and brush over the edges of the pastries.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 11

Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and drizzle over the cooled danishes before serving.
