Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth.
  • With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
  • Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square.
  • Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares.
  • Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together.
  • Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash.
  • Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes.
  • Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.

  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help it to be less sticky and easier to work with.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: This will ensure that the cheese Danish is evenly baked.
  • Bake the cheese Danish until it is golden brown: This will give it a nice, crispy crust.
  • Let the cheese Danish cool completely before slicing it: This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart.
