Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry 1 box, thawed
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Egg wash

1 whole egg
2 tablespoons water

Glaze

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar and lemon juice until smooth. In a small bowl mix the egg and water together with a fork to make the egg wash.
Open the first sheet of puff pastry and cut into 9 even squares. Fold each square in half to form a triangle. Slice two slices along the open sides of the triangle, but leave a small space at the peak of the triangle uncut.
Open the triangle and use a pastry brush to brush the whole square. Fold the cut corners of the square over to form the kite.
Scoop a teaspoon of cream cheese filling into the center of the pastry and brush the edges with egg wash.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the pastry begins to turn golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle over the top of the Danishes and serve.
