Ingredients

Scale
  • Kings Hawaiian Sweet Bread
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Egg Wash (1 Egg + 1 tbsp Water)
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into squares of about 4 inches.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, mixing until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Danish

Place a pastry square on a lined baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of cream cheese filling into the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry towards the center to create a pocket, pinching to seal.

Step 5: Brush with Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to give it a golden color when baked.

Step 6: Bake the Danish

Bake the assembled danishes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Step 7: Prepare the Glaze

While the danishes are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.

Step 8: Drizzle with Glaze

Once the danishes are out of the oven and cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

Note 1: Puff Pastry

Make sure to keep the puff pastry cold until you are ready to use it to maintain its flaky texture.

Note 2: Cream Cheese Filling

You can add lemon zest or almond extract to the cream cheese filling for additional flavor if desired.
