Ingredients
Ready-to-Roll Puff Pastry (vegan and gluten-free, such as JusRol Vegan + Gluten-free Puff Pastry)
Dairy-Free Cream Cheese (full-fat versions like Violife or Philadelphia Plant-Based)
Gluten-Free or Plain Flour
Caster Sugar
Dairy-Free Milk
Fresh Strawberries
Instructions
1. Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing dairy-free cream cheese with caster sugar and gluten-free flour. Adjust sweetness by tasting as you go.
2. Roll out the ready-to-roll puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Keep it chilled to maintain flakiness and cut into squares or desired shapes.
3. Assemble the Danish by placing a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square and topping with thinly sliced fresh strawberries. Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.
4. Seal and decorate by folding over the pastry corners or bringing the sides to the middle to form small envelopes. Use a fork to press and seal the edges, and brush the exposed pastry with dairy-free milk for a golden finish.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the assembled pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Pair with a vegan-friendly beverage for a delightful breakfast or sweet treat experience.
Notes
1. Try adding a hint of citrus zest like lemon or orange to the cream cheese filling for an extra burst of flavor.
2. Always keep your puff pastry chilled before rolling to maintain a flaky texture.
3. Avoid overfilling the danishes to keep the filling from spilling out during baking.
