Cherry Cheese Danish

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and flour and set aside.

Take frozen puff pastry dough and unfold it (I use Pepperidge Farms and it is tri-folded). On an ungreased baking sheet, lay out the pastry dough. Unfold it so that you have 3 sections.

Carefully spread the cream cheese filling down the center section of the dough. Spread it so that it’s about 2-3 inches wide.

On top of cream cheese mixture add the cherry filling.

Cut 1/2-inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough (the two outside sections of the dough). Fold the 1/2-inch dough strips up over the filling, alternating sides over each other and pressing down lightly to seal. When you are done it should look like a braided pattern. Fold all excess dough into the Danish.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until filling is set and dough is golden in color. Remove from oven and cool before removing it from the baking sheet.

Once Danish has cooled, move it to a serving platter. Use sweetened condensed milk to top the Danish. Cut into pieces and serve.
