How to Serve

Serve these pastries warm or at room temperature, dusted with a light sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar for an added touch of sweetness and elegance. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee, tea, or a tall glass of cold milk.

How to Store

Keep any leftover Danish pastries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave until warm and flaky before serving.

Tips

  • Ensure your puff pastry is thoroughly thawed but still cold to make handling easier and achieve the best texture.
  • For the creamiest filling, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fully incorporate the sugar and vanilla before adding to the pastry.
  • Be careful not to overfill your pastries to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
