Step-by-Step Instructions for Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish
  1. Prepare the Blackberry Curd by pureeing 2 cups of blackberries, straining to remove seeds, and simmerring down to 1/2 cup before whisking in eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and butter.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling by beating 8 oz of softened cream cheese and gradually adding sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Prep and assemble Danishes starting with rolling out puff pastry into 3.5-inch circles, filling the centers with cream cheese filling, and brushing edges with egg wash.
  4. Bake the Danishes at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Finish by cooling slightly, filling with blackberry curd, and garnishing with fresh blackberries and powdered sugar before serving.
