EASY RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BRAID

Steps:

• To make the filling, in a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and egg yolk together on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Let filling cool in the refrigerator while rolling out the danish dough.
• Place two racks equal distance apart in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out your dough to make a 12x6 inch rectangle. Use a light dusting of flour to help the dough along. Roll it out onto a lined baking sheet. (Lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.) It is tough to transfer the braided dough from the counter to the baking sheet. Cut off two corners of the dough and then two small triangles at the other end. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese filling and then top with 1/2 of the fruit spread down the length of the center of the strip. Cut slanting strips (3/4 inch - 1 inch each) along both sides. I used a pizza cutter. Fold the bottom end up to "seal" the filling in. Repeat with the second half of the dough and the rest of the filling.
• Bake braids for 15 - 18 minutes or until the tops become lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
• To make the icing: Prepare the glaze by whisking all of the ingredients together. After 10 minutes of cooling, drizzle the braids with glaze and serve immediately.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Lay frozen puff pastry sheet on a clean work surface and allow to thaw for 10 minutes.
• While you are waiting for it to thaw, you can make the cream cheese filling. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar into the cream cheese. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix until smooth. Set aside.
• Unfold the puff pastry and cut it into four equal parts. When you unfold it, sometimes it will break on the creases which is fine. Then cut your four parts into quarters, so you have 16 rectangles or squares.
• With a sharp knife, score an inner rectangle as shown. You don't want to cut all the way through. This helps the puff pastry rise around the filling, and creates a little wall so the filling doesn't escape.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of each puff pastry. Top with a few small dots of the jam, and swirl it around with a toothpick. Don't worry about being precise with your swirling because you really won't be able to tell after baking.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush only the edges with a pastry brush. This adds a pretty sheen to the finished pastry. Sprinkle the edges with the sparkling sugar if desired.
• Bake for 13-14 minutes. They will puff up, and the edges should be golden. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before drizzling with icing.

LAYERED RASPBERRY DREAM

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir in melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup of graham cracker mixture; press remaining mixture into a 9x13-inch dish. Chill crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl until soft and fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust and chill until firm, about 30 more minutes.
• Whisk raspberry gelatin and boiling water together in a separate large bowl until gelatin has dissolved; stir in lemon juice. Gently fold frozen raspberries into warm gelatin; cold raspberries will cause gelatin to begin to set. Spread raspberry mixture over cream cheese layer in pan.
• Spread whipped topping over raspberries and sprinkle dessert with reserved crumb topping. Chill at least 2 more hours.

RASPBERRY PASTRY POCKETS

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry and roll the sheets out on a lightly floured surface to make it a little thinner. Chill, covered with plastic wrap to let rest. In a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese, egg yolk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon rind.
• Make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl. Cut the puff pastry into 3-inch squares. Lay a square of pastry on a work surface and paint the edge with egg wash. In the center of the pastry, place 1 tablespoon of cheese filling and 3 raspberries. Paint the edge of a second square of pastry with egg wash, place it on top of the filling and carefully press the edges together to seal them well. Place pockets 1-inch apart on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and keep chilled. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
• When they're all done, brush the top surface with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a pre heated at 375 degree F oven until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

RASPBERRY CHEESE DANISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, ricotta, sugar, and lemon juice with a handheld mixer.
• Place the thawed puff pastry out onto a sheet of floured parchment paper. Roll it out lengthwise about 2 inches.
• Cut the top corners off and begin cutting strips diagonally down the sides of the pastry. You should end up with about 10 strips on each side. Once you reach the bottom strip, cut off the remaining flaps.
• Place the filling in the middle third of each puff pastry sheet. Then pipe out an even layer of raspberry jam on top of the filling (1/4 cup per danish ).
• To make the braid, begin crossing over each strip, alternating between sides. Every time you pull a strip over to the opposite side, gently pinch it down. Before you cross over last strips, fold in the bottom middle flap.
• Brush both danishes with egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minute or until golden brown.
• Make the glaze by combining the milk and powdered sugar. Once the danish is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over it.
