Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of puff pastry dough (2 sheets), thawed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
- Sanding sugar
- 1 8-ounce block of cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed or bottled
- Lime zest from one whole lime
- 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
- Fresh strawberries, stems removed and cut in half
- Optional garnish: additional lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly-floured board. With a large 4.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 4 rounds of dough from each piece.
- Lightly score the rounds with a slightly smaller biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Transfer the puff pastry rounds to baking sheets lined with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Gather together the remaining scraps of dough. Roll out the dough and create two or three more danish pastry circles. Add those to the baking sheets.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
- Place two tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry circle. Using the backside of a spoon, spread it out while leaving a 1/4-inch rim.
- Arrange blueberries on half of the rounds and artistically arrange strawberries on the other half.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes or until the rims of your pastries are lightly golden brown.
- Allow your danish pastries to cool down on baking sheets until they reach room temperature. If desired, sprinkle some additional lime zest over strawberry-filled pastries before serving.
