EASY RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH/COFFEE CAKE/PIE
On our way home, I asked my husband to just quickly stop at the store for milk. While there, he started to describe a dessert that he wanted me to make, but his description was, let's just say, lacking. Was it a Danish? Coffee Cake? Pie? Sweet Roll? I didn't know what he was talking about. One hour later, we emerged with a bag...

Steps:
- 1. *Please Note: Prep time does not include defrosting dough or rise times. Night before, place frozen bread loaf in a large ziplock bag with the inside of the bag sprayed with Pam. Place in fridge overnight.
- 2. Mix softened cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar with hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- 3. Roll out bread dough between 2 pieces of lightly sprayed parchment paper to form a 12x16 rectangle. Remove top parchment leaving bottom parchment in place. (By leaving this, I have found it is much easier to get it transferred to the cookie sheet.) Cover loosely with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with Pam and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- 4. Remove plastic wrap. On long sides, slice dough every 1 1/2" toward center leaving 5" wide center area uncut. (see photo) Spread raspberry filling in a 4" strip down center of dough leaving 1/2" plain before reaching side cuts. Also leave 1 1/2" at either end plain. Dot with cream cheese mixture.
- 5. Fold short ends over filling at either end. Then, alternating sides, fold strips over top of dough at slight angle. (see photo) Transfer pastry on parchment paper to cookie sheet. Cover loosely with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- 6. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes. Tent loosely if browning too quickly. (I use a very hot gas oven and oven temps vary, so watch closely.)
- 7. When done, remove from oven. Brush with a little melted butter. Microwave canned frosting until thinned. Drizzle desired amount over pastry. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. ( I find that this type of frosting works just as well as homemade powdered sugar glaze, setting up beautifully.)
- 8. Serving Suggestion: Cut into 1 1/2-2" strips. Drizzle pastry and plate with additional glaze, powdered sugar and/or a little thinned raspberry jam warmed in microwave. (see pics)
RASPBERRY DANISH COFFEE CAKE
Either raspberry, blueberry, or sweetened cottage cheese/cream cheese mixture would be good in this. I used raspberry. I also cut it into two loaves, as it was too big for my baking sheet.

Steps:
- 1. Combine 1 c. flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Beat in water and butter. Beat for 2 minutes more. Add egg and 3/4 c. flour; beat 2 minutes. Add remaining flour. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic. Shape dough into ball. Place dough in large greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 2. Punch down dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface; cover, and let rest 15 minutes. Grease a large baking sheet.
- 3. On lightly floured surface, roll dough out into large rectangle. Spread jam down the center of the dough, leaving 3 inch border on all sides.
- 4. Use a pastry wheel to cut dough on both sides of filling, started on outside edge, into 1 inch strips, just touching the jam. Fold dough down, alternating sides, to make a braided design. Place on baking sheet, cover, and let rest 1 hour.
- 5. Preheat oven to 350. Bake until golden for about 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve warm.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure your butter is cold when you begin. This will help create a flaky pastry.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the pastry tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Rolling too hard will make the pastry tough.
- Bake the coffee cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking.
- Don't overbake the coffee cake. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
- Let the coffee cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
