Ingredients for Cheese Danish Recipe
- Puff Pastry – Using a store-bought (thawed) puff pastry, is the easiest way to make these. You can of course use homemade dough if you prefer.
- Berries – For this cheese danish, you will need about 1 1/2 cups of fresh berries or 12 pieces of each berry. If you prefer to make them all blueberry danish or all strawberry danish, that would work as well.
- Cream Cheese – forms the creamy center of the pastry
- Sugar – sweetens the filling
- Egg yolk – gives the filling a smooth and rich texture
- Vanilla extract – either homemade vanilla or storebought work great
- Lemon zest – adds subtle lemon flavor to the filling

Tips for Making Cheese Danishes
- Thaw puff pastry according to the package instructions. If you try to speed thaw, it will become sticky and difficult to roll out.
- Let the pastries cool completely to room temperature once they are out of the oven. Be patient at the end! The cream cheese filling is very much like cheesecake, so it needs a little time to set properly before enjoying.
- Cool before glazing – once the pastries are at room temperature, apply the glaze. If you glaze a hot pastry, the glaze will melt and run off the pastry.
- Be generous with the glaze. We use every last drop and then lick the spoon.

Easy Cheese Danish Recipe
![Cheese danishes with lemon glaze](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Cream-Cheese-Berry-Danish-5-160x160.jpg)
Ingredients
Cheese Danish Ingredients:
- 1 lb puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest from 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 cups berries, (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
Egg Wash Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp water
Ingredients for Lemon Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
How to Make Cream Cheese Danish:
- Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions. Preheat Oven to 400˚F with a rack in the center of the oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp lemon zest. Beat together on medium/high speed until creamy and smooth.
- Unfold the first puff pastry sheet onto a clean work surface and roll lightly into a 10″x10″ square. Use a pizza cutter to slice each sheet into 12 even strips.
- Combine 2 of the strips by tightly pinching two ends together then twist the strand from top to bottom. Press one end onto your work surface and loop the twisted strand around it, working from the center out. Pinch the end to attach it to the pastry. Flatten the center slightly with fingertips and poke the center a few times with a fork to prevent the center from puffing up too much.
- Place 1 Tbsp of the filling into the center and press the berries halfway into the cream. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for the remaining strands and second sheet of puff pastry. Transfer filled pastries to lined baking sheet, keeping at least 1/2″ space between them.
How to Make Eggwash & Bake:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water. Beat together thoroughly with a fork.
- Brush outside edges with egg wash and bake in the center of the oven at 400˚F for 18 -20 min. Let cool completely to room temperature so the cream cheese filling sets properly then drizzle with lemon glaze.

Q: What is YOUR favorite way to use Puff Pastry? I would love to hear about your creative ideas in a comment below!
I’m excited to try out this recipe! Can I substitute phyllo dough for the pastry dough?
Hi Dani! You can experiment with it. But they are actually quite different so the result would not be the same.
Natasha, do you think your Eclair pastry cream would work for this? I have some leftover.
I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe, Erika!
I Made this recipe using Challah dough. Omg! Delicious!! Perfect filling. (I don’t like zest, so I used lemon juice instead). Definitely going to make this again. For those that asked about making puff pastry dough… By the way, I have made puff pastry dough, I would not call it easy, it’s time consuming you need to let the dough rest in the fridge a number of times. There is a great recipe in the ‘Spice and Spirit’ cookbook.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Rivi! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Also… (don’t hate me) but can you use bottled lemon juice if you dont have fresh lemon on hand and if so, how much for each application? Unfortunately,
don’t have fresh, my bad.
Hi Jackie, I haven’t tested that to advise. If you do an experiment, we’d like to know how it turns out!
I used 1 tsp of lemon juice fresh or bottled. Tried both, was delicious.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Rivi!
Really need to know if these can be prepped the night before and baked the next day. Does the the berry juice run into the cream cheese if you put them on the night before? Or should we put the fruit on right before baking the next day?
Hi Jackie! I haven’t tested it myself but I think that would work to prep them ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake the next day. Let us know how they turn out if you experiment.
Fantastic recipe! This was the first time that I worked with puff pastry dough and it was tricky, but they still turned out beautifully. The creme cheese filling is wonderful too. Thanks for posting your recipe!!
That’s great, Jeannie! So glad you loved the recipe. Thank you for the feedback.
Natasha can these be made mini using only one ribbon of dough?
Hi Maria! I think it could work but you’ll have to experiment with it.
Hi Natasha,
I’ve made your danish’s quite a few times. I’m running into an issue where the Danish’s have an eggy taste, not very pleasing. I know that my eggs are fresh from Trader Joes, so they’re not bad, but for some reason the danish has that eggy taste that’s off putting. Do you know what I could be doing wrong?
Hi Mike, the proportion of eggs to cream cheese should not cause any eggy taste, but what comes to mind is anytime you have an egg-based recipe around an outdoor draft, it can cause a more pronounced ‘eggy’ smell. You shouldn’t have an eggy taste though.
Loved this recipe, absolutely delicious! Thank you again for another recipe I will add to my recipe book.
You’re welcome, Verell! I’m so glad you loved it.
Hey Natasha! What square cream cheese are you using in the picture?
Hi Jan, we purchased the long block of cream cheese from Costco and cut it into portions.
How could I make mini Danish? Could I use 1 strip of cut dough, twist it and wrap it around itself? I would adjust the cook time
HI Lisa, I have not tested making a mini version yet. I’m sure that will work, we’d love to know how it goes!
Hi can powdered sugar be used instead of granulated ??
And if we can do that then Will the quantity stay the same ?
Btw i Cant wait to try the recipe !!
Hi Samia! I think you could but I have not tested it to advise. I hope you love this recipe!
Thank you so much for this dessert receipe. My Step Son is fighting fires and I am always trying to find ways so that he can have a dessert with his sandwiches which are easy for him to handle operating a front end loader. Thank you again and I know he would thank you also.
I bet this was the perfect treat for him! That’s so thoughtful of you to make that for him!
You’re welcome, Louise! So glad it was enjoyed.
I would like to try these with TipTree raspberry jelly with the cream cheese. Do you think that would work?
Thanks
Hi Monna! I think that could work.
I was craving a cheese danish today and automatically knew I could count on Natasha’s page for a good recipe! And I was right, they turned out DELICIOUS. Thank you!
You’re so welcome, I’m glad you liked it!
Just made these. They came out great, had to go slow on the turning the pastry because of my arthritis, but took my time and found the rest of the process was really easy and fun. Very tasty. thanks
Thanks for sharing, Helen. Good to know that you enjoyed the process of making this recipe!
Hi Natasha,
I love your recipes! But for some reason struggling with this one. I tried this receipe twice but for some reason the dough it coming out raw on the inside. The only part that seems to bake is the outer layer I put the egg wash on. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?
HI Maggie, is your oven fully preheated? Also, are you using the same type of dough as indicated in the recipe?
Can you teach us how to make home made puff pastry store bought is really unhealthy.
Hi Annie, thank you for that suggestion! I’m hoping to tackle this recipe some day soon!
Hi Natasha,
I want to make these for Mothers Day for breakfast, if I make them
the day before will they still
Be fresh the following day or should I prepare and bake everything that morning ?
Thank you
Hi Abigail, I think that would work to prep them ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake the next morning.
Hi Natasha, I live in México and frozen puff pastry is not available here. Do you have a work around I can use to make these?
Hi Sean, you can use homemade puff pastry but I don’t have a recipe for it yet. I’m sure there are recipes online that you can try.
Hi Sean, we live in MX, too, and easily find puff pastry called “hojaldre” in almost any large grocery store, ie. Costco, La Comer, Soriana, City Market etc. It’s sold in the fresh bakery/bread department. Just ask the person behind the counter.
Hello Natasha,
I recently discovered you on YouTube and have become an instant fan. Yesterday I made this recipe and was blown away with the final results and as you say they didn’t last long. I do have a question, I used the same brand of puff pastry as you but when I thawed to package instructions when I unfolded the dough the seams were cracked and a little dry, what would have caused this? I purchased it the day before. Asking for next time because I’ll definitely be making again. BY THE WAY IM HOOKED! You’ll probably be hearing from me again, today it’s your Beary Cru b Cake, wish me luck.
I’m so happy this was a hit, Donald! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Hi Donald, I wonder if maybe your package had freezer burn on it? Also, make sure to thaw according to the package instructions. The seams are normally slightly cracked when you open them and have a little trail of flour in them but they shouldn’t really be dry. I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipes and channel.
Your recipes are truly ones you can rely on. I have made several and this is my first review on any site. You and your families videos have given me the confidence to do any that look great to me. From my first pie crust and pot pie to easy cheese danish. We are retired and finally I have the time to cook like I always wanted to. Again many thanks for making my kitchen my happy place.
Aww, that’s so great! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Patty!
Love this recipe! I love pastries and have been excited to try out this recipe. The steps were so easy to follow and this was another hit! I also appreciate the video. I’ll definitely be making these again.
Hello Kell, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the good review and feedback.
Just like Carla Hall says, “DUUUUUDDDDE”
These are amazing! we mixed things up and tried making multi-berry and individual berry versions of this, and in the end nothing crowns the Blueberry ones, with that lemon zest and lemon cream cheese, these are to die for! Thanks for the recipe, I also love the cream puffs too.
I’m so glad you loved them too, Mike!
I made these and they turned out AMAZING!! I used blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries and having fresh berries baked in made all the difference! Between the flakey crust, the silky cream cheese filling, the berries, and the lemon glaze, these are a delicious crown pleaser!! Super simple too. Thank you Natasha, these are a new favorite for our family!
Love it! It is awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe using different Berries.
Hello, Could you use pie crust instead of puff pastry? I’m afraid they might not be as good??
I haven’t tested that to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
Amazing! I bake a lot for my family and they said this is the best thing I’ve ever made! I could eat spoonfuls of the cream cheese filling by itself. Can’t wait to make again and try other variations!
Thanks for the great feedback, Maria. I;m glad your family enjoyed this recipe!
Would love to see a pineapple, cherry or pecan danish recipe also! Those are my favorites.
That’s a great suggestion, thank you!
Hi Natasha! August 23rd was my birthday. My mom made these and they were absolutely delicious!
Happy Birthday, Ashanti!
I enjoyed from Natasha’s kitchen
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes!
These came out awesome! Can you make them the night before and out them in the oven in the morning?
Hi Rose, These are very best fresh but we have enjoyed leftovers the following day and they still tasted great. We covered loosely but fully and refrigerated overnight.
I meant to ask can you refrigerate raw over night and bake in the morning? I love your recipes, I make them often with my 10 year old daughter, thank you!
Hi Rose, I think that would work to prep them ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake the next morning.
Thank you!
Hi Natasha,
I am new baker. I have tried so many of your fun recipes and all of them were big hits!! I can’t wait to try this one. If I use the kitchenaid stand mixer, which attachment shall I use to mix the cream cheese?
Hi Saira, under the tools you need section, we mention a stand mixer will work great here! The standard beater attachments will work great here! I hope you love this recipe!
Hi, I brush a sheet of puff pastry with melted butter. Then grated tasty cheese and cover with caramelized onions and garlic and sprinkle chopped parsley over that. I then cut into 4 long strips and fold each strip over itself, length ways, and seal edges as best as u can….don’t be too fussy! Line a baking tray and as u lift the strip onto the tray, give them a twist. Brush with butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 200° for 20mins. Until pastry is golden and cut into 3 or 4 pieces each strip. Filling can be changed to… cooked chopped bacon and mushrooms or whatever u have on hand….but always with the cheese. They freeze really well and r a great B4’s. Top the bacon and mushroom strips with sesame seeds. Cheers Pam (Aust)
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Pam!! That sounds delicious!
I live in Yukon Territory (neighbour of Alaska). I have tried and love many of your recipes. Have used many over and over because they are so good. Next challange is the Easy Cheese Danish. Wish me luck! You make it look easy!
You got this!! I hope you love the danish recipe!
It’s a wow wow wow explosion in my mouth! Children also got impressed, and they are pretty picky:) Thank you very much, Natasha! Spasibo ogromneishee!!
That’s so great, Rodica!! That is the best when kids (& the entire family)love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Omg!! These are so wonderful and delicious. Everything you post is amazing. Any tips on storing the leftovers for tomorrow…..if there is any!!
Glad you loved it, Michelle. These are very best fresh but we have enjoyed leftovers the following day and they still tasted great. We covered loosely but fully and refrigerated overnight.
These danishes were so addicting, we could not stop eating them. I was so surprised how easy they were to make!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Lily!!
Hi Natasha,
I’m diabetic and would love if you could create some diabetic-friendly desserts.
rockstde
Hi Lois, thank you so much for that suggestion! You’ll find in our recipe comments most of our readers make adjustments for their diets after trying the recipe the first time around.
These were so good!! First time making them and loved them. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed these danishes, Eden!
Perfectly flaky on the outside and creamy on the inside. My new favorite!
The best combination! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with me, Krystle!
Ohhhh, these were simply delicious! Dangerously so;)
Thank you for providing such wonderful tasty and attractive recipes! I don’t get to get in to town as often as I used to, can you provide me with a homemade puff pastry? I
d love to be able to make these more often:)
Thank you again:)
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes, Dee! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, and thank you for that suggestion! I’m adding that to my to-do list!
Hi Natasha, is it okay to prep the cream cheese mixture the night before? Thanks.
Hi Christine, I bet that could work! If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
I made the cream cheese mixture the night before. It worked well and saved time for brunch the next day. The danish was a hit with my family. Thanks Natasha. Love all your recipes.
You are very welcome, Christine. I’m happy that you liked the recipe!
Can I freeze before baking or prep the night before and freeze so they are ready to be baked the next morning?
Hi Madisen, I honestly have not tried freezing these danishes but I think it’s worth experimenting. Wrap in plastic wrap then place in freezer bags before placing into the freezer.
I tried using apples with this and it was amazing! I used a croissant pastry sheet and adjusted temp to 375 for 10 minutes. I also used cinnamon in the glaze instead of lemon. It was delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hey Natasha! I’ve been wanting to make these for a long time, and finally did today. They turned out delicious and my whole family adored them. Thank you so much for such great recipes!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Hey Natasha! I’ve been wanting to make these for a long time, and I finally did today! My whole family loved them and demanded that I make them again! Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes!
Finally made these. Yes, it was so easy and so good. Thank you!
I noticed the print friendly recipe section is missing how to make Lemon glaze! I watched the video so many time before i made this so it was ok, but thought to let you know!
You’re welcome and thank you too for sharing your good feedback with us. Thank’s for noticing that, I’ll see if I can have the recipe updated soon.
Thank you for the recipe calculator!!!!!
Can I use mango or any canned fruits instead of berries?
Hello Jeane, I think that should work too although I haven’t really tested it to advise with the measurements and result. Please share with us how it goes if you do an experiment!
surely!! Will do!! 🙂
😋🤩👍
Hi, Love the recipe! Just wondering the shelf life of the danishes.Do I need to refrigerate?
Hi Betty, since there is cream cheese in the danishes, I would refrigerate after a day if you want to keep them longer than that.
My wife just tried this and was so happy. She said “Natasha…Nathasha. That was so good, I am glad I made this. My son agreed.
Small note, in our oven it took 35 minutes.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you enjoyed that, David!
Is there a big taste difference between store bought and homemade puff pastry? Is it worth making it homemade?
I still feel new to the kitchen and this was easy and delicious – even did it with a toddler!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
Can I substitute for whipped cream cheese?
Hi Luba, I haven’t tested this with whipped cream cheese so I can’t say for sure. As a general rule of thumb, it is not recommended to substitute with whipped cream cheese if the recipe is baked like in cheesecake because it changes the texture. It is easier to substitutew the two for a recipe that isn’t baked (like with spreads). If you experiment, let me know how it goes.
Natasha, I have a question: can I use a heavy duty wax paper instead of parchment?
Thank you!
Hi Tetyana, wax paper is not heat resistant and the wax will melt at high temperatures.
Good to know. Thank you! I just greased the baking sheet with butter. Excellent result! 🙂
Could these be frozen after baking and cooling ?
Hi Sherry, I honestly have not tried freezing these danishes but I think it’s worth experimenting. Wrap in plastic wrap then place in freezer bags before placing into the freezer.
Hello Natasha, I cannot stop making your delicious amazing recipes, I made the cream cheese danish this afternoon for my friends on St. Patrick’s Day after dinning desert it was a hit, everyone including myself love it. Thanks again. Also letting you know your videos are so helpful, showing everyone watching.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review 🙂
I love your recipes Natasha. I’ve purchased puff pastry a few times, put it in the freezer wanting to use it at the first opportunity only to throw it when it’s past the due date of too old, period. I’m totally intimidated with this product, but I want to try this recipe so I’ll dig the last box of it out and try it.
This would be perfect for that, Claudette! I hope you love it!
Thanks for sharing the great recipe. My family and friends love it🙂
I’m so happy to hear that!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it
This recipe is a keeper!! A delicious and very impressive pastry that guests will love. They will think you bought them from a high-end bakery. So tasty, I had to hide these danishes from me! The next day I took them out of the fridge and they were just as good or better as the lemon flavor popped with every bite. Really delicious! Your other reader is right–they are a “bit of heaven”. Thank you for sharing, Natasha!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review 🙂
Can you tell the difference between homemade and store puff pastry? Is it really worth making it homemade?
I prefer homemade because it’s I know that it’s fresh but store-bought pastry should also work
I made these and lovedddd them! I loved how they were flaky and the fruit gave it a great flavor. Thanks sooooo much, and I will make it again.
You’re welcome, Kenzie! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Hello, what kind of puff pastry you use, pls?
Hi Trin! We use Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry for this recipe. We have a picture of in the recipe post.
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this site.
I really hope to check out the same high-grade blog posts from you in the future as well.
In fact, your creative writing abilities has motivated
me to get my own website now 😉
I’m so happy to hear that!
Hi Natasha, love your recipe, thanks for sharing! I initially used soft cheese (couldn’t find ‘cream cheese’ in shops in the UK). When I mixed it with 1 egg yolk, the mixture became way too liquid. I couldn’t use it as danish filling. I tried mascarpone cheese next time – without adding yolks. Still it wasn’t thick enough. Seeing this, I put my pastry into the oven without any filling for 10 min, took it out, filled with cream and backed for another 8 min. Still, much of the filling ended up on the baking tray. If you have any advice on how to adapt the recipe, would you please share it? Thanks!
Hi Natalia. It sounds like the soft cheese is too soft causing your filling to be runny.. American cream cheese is pretty firm and keeps its shape really well unless it is warmed. I would recommend bring your mixture to slightly under room temperature. I hope this helps
I made this recipe and it is sooooo amazing delicious… Thanks Natasha.
You’re so welcome, Izabela!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been trying to find a danish like this forever. I went to Italy last year and had a danish just like this in Rome. I have never been able to get it off my mind since. It sure is a bit of heaven! This is the closest I have found to it. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for this amazing review! I’m so happy you found our recipe!
Hi Natasha, do you think frozen fruit would work for this recipe?
Hi Alena, I think frozen blueberries might work best if using a frozen berry.
Can I use fruit preserves or jams instead of fresh fruit?
Hi Nora! I haven’t tried that honestly. It does sounds like a good idea however. If you experiment please let me know how you like it!
Do you have to refrigerate after you finish them? I found that filo pastry dough didn’t work too well, it would not roll out. But I didn’t get the pastry shown on this site. I still made them they just weren’t as pretty but equally delicious I think. Next time I will use filo pastry shells and otherwise follow the directions. I love filo
We enjoy them fresh but if you need to store them, cover them loosely but fully and refrigerated overnight.
will they get soggy in the fridge overnight?
Hi Jackie! We enjoy them fresh but if you need to store them, cover them loosely but fully and refrigerated overnight.
Can we use Betty cocker croissant dough?
Hi Emily, I haven’t tested it that way so I’m not sure but it might be worth experimenting! Keep an eye on them though as the bake time might be slightly different with the different dough.
Any tips on if one wanted to make these smaller, for part of a small appetizer for brunch? Only use one ribbon of dough? Or still two, but thinner? Kind of sounds like a silly question but I’d love more, smaller servings 🙂
Hi Ashley, I think it might be tough to make this same shape of pastry smaller. It won’t twist properly if it is just 1 ribbon. You could modify the recipe for smaller pastries but you may need to do a simpler shape of pastry.
I Made them with one ribbon instead of two and i actually preferred that! THEy were perfect size, not too big or small 😊
That’s so great Oksana! I’m so happy it was perfect for you!
Wow!! Simply delicious!!!!
Thank you for the compliment Inna 😀
This is looking so tasty. I want make this.
They’re so easy and good! I hope you try them!
Do you think frozen berries work ok?
Hi Emily, I think that would work and frozen blueberries are probably your best bet for not becoming overly juicy.
They were incredibly easy to make and ohh sooo yummy!!!! My husband loved them. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe!
You’re welcome Julie! I’m glad you both love the recipe, thanks for sharing your great review!
These look sooooooooooo delicious. But do you have to use the store-bought dough? Is there a different recipe for it.
Hi Elena, you could use a homemade dough if you prefer 🙂 We don’t have a recipe for that posted yet so you might have to google that one.
Hi Natasha do you think if I make these at nite and keep them in fridge and cook them in the morning will okay
Hi Shirley, I think that would work to prep them ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake the next morning.
I made these thanks for your recipes they came out so awesome pity I did not take photo – morning tea at work it was so amazing and they got finished in no time will be making them again
You’re welcome Shirley, I’m glad you love them! Thanks for sharing your review!
Great Recipe!!! I was always afraid of baking, but my danishes came out perfect.
I am so happy to hear these cheese danishes were a success for you!! Thank you for the amazing review 🙂
Those look amazing. I’ll need to make them!
They taste as good as they look, I hope you love them Julie!
Will these be good if made the night before brunch ?
Hi Veronika, these are their very best fresh but we have enjoyed leftovers the following day and they still tasted great. We covered loosely but fully and refrigerated overnight.
