Lemon-cream Cheese Danishes Cherry Danishes

Directions

1. To prep the cream cheese Danishes: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla.

2. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 2 squares. Cut a ½ inch-wide strip from each side of the pastry. Brush the edges of the pastry square with water, then layer the strips along the edges, pressing gently to adhere and form a border around the outside of the pastry.

3. Divide the cream cheese mixture between the two pastries, then top each with 1 tablespoon of lemon curd.

4. In a second small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water (this will be used for the cherry Danishes, too). Brush the exposed edges of the pastry with half the egg wash.
