Love ordering a fresh strawberry cream cheese Danish at your local coffee shop? You can now make flaky, delicious Strawberry Danish at home with just 5 simple ingredients. Fresh, flaky and absolutely delicious!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on a cutting board, and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Place pastry pieces on to the lined baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla extract until completely combined. Spoon out about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each pastry. Spread into the center of each pastry using a knife or off-set spatula.
Add about 2 medium, sliced strawberries over the top of each cream cheese center.
Bake Danish at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until edges of puff pastry are golden brown.
While Danish bake, mix the powdered sugar glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar (or Swerve powdered sugar substitute), milk and vanilla. Mixture should be creamy and slightly thick.
Once Danish come out of the oven, let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle each Danish with the glaze. Let cool for 10 more minutes before serving.
