Blueberries ‘n Cream Danish Braid

Homemade Cream Cheese Blueberry Danish made from my favorite "quick method" pastry dough! It's unbelievable.

Ingredients:

Dough

• 1 recipe Homemade Danish Pastry Dough (step-by-step photos included)

Cream Cheese Filling

• 8oz (224g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
• optional: 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Vanilla Glaze

• 1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon (15ml) heavy cream (or milk)

Directions:

1. Make the pastry dough through step 7.
2. Make the filling: in a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and egg yolk together on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Continue with steps 8-10, including preheating the oven to 400F, in the pastry dough recipe for how to assemble. *Don't forget to add the blueberries on top of the filling (as pictured above) and sprinkle the uncooked braids with the sliced almonds before baking.
