Cherry Cheese Danish

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.

2. 2

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

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

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

5. 5

   On top of cream cheese mixture add the cherry filling.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

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