STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat.
• Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using about a 3-inch circular shape, either a biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut 4 circles out of each pastry sheet.
• Using a smaller 2-inch circular shape or a knife, lightly score a circle about ½ inch from the edge of each pastry circle. Use a fork to make pricks throughout the inside circle, piercing through the pastry so it doesn't rise while baking.
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spoon the cream cheese mixture inside the smaller circle of the pastry.
• Whisk the egg, then brush onto the edges of the Danish. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden brown and puffed up. Transfer to a serving platter and top with sliced fresh strawberries.
• Make glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk together until thin glaze forms. Drizzle over Danish. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.
