Recipe: Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc Danish

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc
• ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• Pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 sheet boxed puff pastry, thawed
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, egg yolk, salt and vanilla until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag or a plastic bag.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12 square. Trim edges if needed for a straight edge. Cut the dough into nine 4-inch squares and transfer to parchment lined baking sheets. Brush the corners of each square with beaten egg, and fold down each corner into the center of the square.
• Cut the tip off the filled pastry bag or plastic bag about a half inch from the corner. Pipe a circle of cheese filling onto the center of each square.
• Brush the top of the dough with the remaining beaten egg.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pastries are puffed and golden brown.
