This recipe is sure to please, and is much easier to put together than you might imagine!
Utilizing Pepperidge Farm’s Puff Pastry and a few simply ingredients, you’ll have a fancy breakfast treat everyone will love.

Blueberry Cheesecake Danish
This fancy treat is easier than you might think, and perfect for a special breakfast.
Yield: 12 Danish
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon, sugar
1/3 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 cup blueberry preserves or strawberry jam
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup sliced almond, toasted
Directions:
Heat oven to 400*F.
Spray baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar.
In another bowl, add the remaing 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/3 package of cream cheese. Blend together with a spoon.
Melt butter in a small bowl, and set aside.
Sprinkle your work surface with a bit of flour. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on the work surface. Brush the pastry sheet with half the butter. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
With the short side facing you, cut the pastry sheet lengthwise into 6 strips. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 12 in all (pictured below).
One at a time, twist the pastry strip, and then roll into a coil (as pictured). Tuck the end of the coil under the pastry, and pinch the pastry to keep the end in place.
Use a small spoon to create a crater in the center of the pastry, then add about 1 teaspoon sweetened cream cheese, then about 1 teaspoon jam. Move pastry to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips.
Bake danish about 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow pastries to cool on baking sheet a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
While the danish bake, prepare glaze. Add powdered sugar to a bowl, then add milk. Stir and set aside. Drizzle over baked pastries, and top with sliced almonds.
