Mulberry Puff Pastry Danishes are flaky, golden pastries filled with sweet-tart mulberry compote and creamy cheese filling. This easy bakery-style recipe is perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed but cold
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen mulberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for cream cheese)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine mulberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until berries release juice.
  3. Stir in cornstarch and cook another minute until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  4. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Roll out puff pastry slightly and cut into 4 equal squares.
  6. Score a smaller square inside each piece, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.
  8. Spoon a small amount of cooled mulberry filling on top.
  9. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  11. Cool slightly, then whisk powdered sugar and milk to make glaze and drizzle over pastries before serving.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold for best rise and flakiness.
  • Do not overfill to prevent leaking.
  • Allow filling to cool before assembling.
  • Refrigerate leftovers due to cream cheese filling.
  • Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5–8 minutes to restore crispness.
