  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Thaw puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until creamy.
  5. Roll out the thawed pastry into rectangles and cut each sheet into six smaller rectangles.
  6. Create an egg wash by whisking an egg with water; brush this mixture on the edges of each rectangle.
  7. Spoon cream cheese filling into the center of each rectangle and score decorative cuts around the edges.
  8. Place on baking sheets and bake for 17-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Drizzle cooled ganache over each danish and allow to set before serving.
