Scale
- For the Danish:
- Ready-to-roll vegan puff pastry (e.g., JusRol Vegan + Gluten-Free Puff Pastry)
- 1 cup dairy-free cream cheese (e.g., Violife or Philadelphia Plant-Based)
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour or plain flour
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk (for brushing the pastry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, caster sugar, and flour. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares or desired shapes. For a festive touch, use cookie cutters to create heart or star shapes.
- Assemble the Danish:
- Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with sliced strawberries.
- Fold the corners of the pastry toward the center to create a simple envelope shape, or leave them open for a rustic look.
- Seal the edges by gently pressing with a fork.
- Brush and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the exposed pastry with dairy-free milk for a golden finish.
- Arrange the danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the danishes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with your favorite vegan beverage.
