Looks delicious and easy, thanks! Do you think they would freeze well?
I have not tried freezing it if you do let me know!
The last part of this recipe is missing? Did you fold the outer edge of the puff pastry over the top after the cheese and strawberry were put on?
Hi Lauren! Once you place the cream cheese mixture and jam on top of the dough you bake and then top with glaze once cooled off. No folding over necessary! Hope you like it!
Hi,
Can I use regular milk in place of the almond milk?
Thanks!
Hi Rivka! Yes that would work. I am so used to making this glaze for non dairy desserts that I didn’t even think about the fact that it’s for a DAIRY cheese danish! ;)
Hey ! Could I just use puff pastry squares ?
Hi Ricky! Yes that also works. Enjoy!
