Easy Cream Cheese Danish
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Gently roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out the pastry and remove any folds.

  3. Divide pastry into eight squares (or each sheet into quarters) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

  4. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, melted white chocolate, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

  5. Place 2 tbsp cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Make an indentation on the top of each dollop of cream cheese with the tablespoon measure.

  6. Place 1 tbsp of jam (any flavor) in each indentation.

  7. Draw corners of the pastry up towards the center of the danish and pinch together. Press each pastry down lightly.

  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is a light golden brown. Puff pastry may spread slightly and the danish will 'open' as the pastry bakes.
