Set aside. 00:32 Prepare filling by stirring together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. 01:23 Divide puff pastry into 2 even parts (If using homemade puff pastry I’ll usually cut this width-wise, if using store-bought dough it will already be divided into two even sheets for you). 02:12 Roll first half of puff pastry into a 12x12” square (about 1/16” thick). Cut into 4 even-sized squares. 02:45 Transfer squares onto prepared baking sheet. Dollop about two tablespoons of filling into the center of each square. Fold the corners over the center of the filling, leaving a space about ¼” thick in the center and between corners. 02:27 Prepare egg wash by whisking together egg and 2 teaspoons water. Brush generously over the top of the puff pastry dough. 04:55 Transfer cheese danishes to 400F (205C) preheated oven and bake for 17-19 minutes or until light golden brown. Pastries will puff a lot in the oven but will settle as they cool. 05:07 Repeat steps with second half of puff pastry dough. 05:20 Allow cheese danishes to cool before drizzling with glaze. Glaze 05:30 To prepare glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. 06:07 Drizzle glaze generously over cooled cheese danishes. Enjoy!
