Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1–2 sheets of JusRol Vegan + Gluten-free Puff Pastry
Filling
- 130g dairy-free cream cheese
- 15g gluten-free or plain flour
- 15g caster sugar + extra for sprinkling
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free milk
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C fan and line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper to prevent sticking during baking.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet while keeping the baking paper underneath to avoid sticking. Use a rolling pin to smooth out any wrinkles. Lightly dust with flour if the pastry feels sticky.
- Cut Pastry Shapes: Use a large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the lined baking tray. Then gently press a smaller heart-shaped cutter inside the larger heart to create an indentation without cutting through.
- Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, blend the dairy-free cream cheese, flour, and caster sugar until thick and creamy. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon if unavailable.
- Assemble Danishes: Pipe or spoon the cream cheese filling into the center indentations of the pastry hearts. Arrange a few slices of fresh strawberry on top of the cream cheese filling of each pastry.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Lightly brush the edges of the pastry hearts with dairy-free milk, then sprinkle extra caster sugar over the edges to encourage browning.
- Bake: Place the tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and flaky. Remove the tray once done and place the second tray into the oven to bake.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked danishes to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with icing sugar for a finishing touch.
Notes
- Using gluten-free puff pastry will make the danishes gluten-free.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, a spoon works just as well for applying the cream cheese filling.
- Ensure the cream cheese filling is thick enough to hold its shape while baking.
- For extra sweetness, dust finished danishes with icing sugar before serving.
- Keep an eye on the pastries while baking as oven temperatures may vary.
