Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

8 oz cream cheese (softened)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to smooth out creases. Cut it into 2 large rectangles or 4 smaller squares, depending on your desired serving size.

      In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add in the beaten egg (reserve a little for the egg wash) and mix until fully combined.

        In another bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly in the cornstarch.

          To assemble your Danish, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.

            Spoon the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, distributing it evenly.

              Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling towards the center, forming a border. You can pinch the corners to secure them.

                Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg wash for a golden finish.

                  Place the assembled Danishes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

                    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
