Ingredients
- 6 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 15 oz can of Del Monte Garden Quality ® sliced peaches (I used raspberry flavored), drained
- 1 sheet store-bought frozen puff pastry (thawed according to package instructions)
- Egg Wash: 1 large egg mixed with 1 Tbsp water
- Coarse sugar (I used raw sugar)
- Glaze: 1/3 cup Powdered sugar mixed with 1/2 Tbsp Milk
Steps
-
Place cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and beat on low speed until smooth
-
Add egg yolk, vanilla, salt and lemon juice and continue mixing just until well blended. Set aside.
-
Slice the DelMonte peaches into 1/4" thick slices.
-
Dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour. Place your thawed puff pastry dough over it and roll it out slightly to flatten the top.
-
Spread your prepared cream cheese in the middle of your puff pastry lengthwise, staying inside the the middle third of the pastry and leaving a 1" border at the top and bottom of the pastry.
-
Spread peach slices evenly over the cream cheese.
-
Cut off the top corners and cut out notches in the bottom of your pastry. Use kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter to cut an equal number of 1-inch wide strips diagonally down the sides of the pastry, leaving at least 1/2-inch before you reach the filling. Braid the pastry strips by folding them in, alternating between sides.
-
Make an egg wash by briskly beating 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of water with a fork. Brush the braided pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 400˚F for 25-28 min or until top is golden brown.
-
Once the braided danish is cooled to room temp, mix 1/3 powdered sugar with 1/2 Tbsp milk and drizzle over the pastry.
