Cream Cheese Danish

If you are anything like me or a lot of Italians, you will know that we always have a package of Puff Pastry in the fridge.  I love puff pastry. All those flaky layers!

It makes a delicious pie crust, perfect for tarts or what I have made here.  Delicious Cream Cheese Danishes or Turnovers.

I have waited awhile,  but now it is so easy to find fresh berries in the supermarkets.  I usually buy a couple of boxes, my kids and my husband love eating them fresh, in ice cream or in yogurt.

How to make Blue Berry Puff Pastry Turnovers

1. In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.
2. In a medium pot add the blueberries and sugar and cook until thickened.
3. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares.
4. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture on half the squares, top with a good helping of the Blueberry mixture.
5. Place another square on top and seal.  Then sprinkle with a little sugar.
6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden.
7. Let cool and serve sprinkled with some powdered / icing sugar.

I always find that puff pastry desserts go the fastest in my house.  And that’s good because they are so easy to make!
