Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1–2 sheets puff pastry (JusRol Vegan + Gluten-free Puff Pastry)
- 130 grams (4.6 ounces) dairy-free cream cheese
- Fresh strawberries
Dry Ingredients:
- 15 grams (0.5 ounces) gluten-free/plain flour
- 15 grams (0.5 ounces) caster sugar
- Extra caster sugar for sprinkling
Liquid Ingredient:
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by lining two large baking trays with parchment paper and heating the oven to 180°C (fan).
- Carefully unroll the puff pastry sheet, keeping the original backing paper underneath to prevent sticking. Gently smooth out any wrinkles using a rolling pin, and lightly dust with flour if the pastry feels tacky.
- Utilize a heart-shaped cookie cutter to create delicate pastry bases, positioning them evenly on the prepared trays. Use a smaller heart-shaped cutter to press a gentle indentation in the center of each pastry, ensuring you don’t cut completely through.
- Craft a luxurious filling by whisking dairy-free cream cheese with flour and caster sugar until the mixture reaches a smooth, thick consistency. Transfer the cream to a piping bag or use a spoon to carefully fill the center of each pastry heart.
- Delicately wash and slice fresh strawberries, arranging a few elegant slices atop the cream cheese mixture.
- Enhance the pastry edges by gently brushing with dairy-free milk and sprinkling a light layer of sugar to promote golden browning.
- Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, watching for a perfect golden, flaky pastry texture.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the danish to cool slightly. Finish by dusting with a delicate veil of icing sugar before serving.
Notes
- Prep ahead by ensuring puff pastry is at room temperature for easier handling and cutting.
- Use a non-stick rolling pin to flatten pastry smoothly without adding excessive flour.
- Pipe cream cheese mixture carefully to prevent overfilling and maintain neat heart shapes.
- Select ripe, sweet strawberries for maximum flavor and vibrant color in the danish.
- Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving to help them set and enhance texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, reheating gently before serving.
