Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of strawberries until well blended.
• Roll out the thawed puff pastry until it's about ⅛ inch thick and cut into 4-inch squares.
• Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
• Fold the corners of each filled pastry square toward the center to enclose the filling and pinch seams tightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash, then brush over the tops of the danishes.
• Arrange danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for about 25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
• Allow danishes to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
