Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk warmed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes
For the cheese filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
For the strawberry topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
- Add the warm milk and eggs to the dry mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Flatten the dough into a rectangle and top with the cold butter cubes. Fold the dough over the butter and seal the edges. Roll the dough out into a rectangle again and fold it into thirds. Repeat this process 2 more times. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness and cut it into 4-inch squares. Spoon the cheese filling onto each square and fold the corners in towards the center. Place the pastries on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the pastries are baking, prepare the strawberry topping. Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened.
- Once the pastries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Spoon the strawberry topping onto each pastry and serve.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Danish pastries topped with cheese and strawberry!
