Strawberry season is finally getting near here and I’m dreaming up all kinds of ways to use my fresh strawberries! This Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish recipe is just the beginning. If you’re one of those lucky Southerners whose farmers markets and gardens start overflowing early in the Spring, I’m totally jealous. For us Manitobans, we are just starting to see fresh local produce popping up. Last year we planted a few strawberry plants in our garden for the first time. I honestly had no idea how much they spread and take over! I’m expecting a ton of strawberries this summer but I am definitely not mad about it. I think if all I had was a garden full of strawberries I would be a happy girl! I almost always have some puff pastry in the freezer for quick fix recipes like these danishes. I love how easily it can turn some fresh strawberries into something even more fabulous! And cream cheese, because, well…. I don’t know if you noticed but I have a little addiction to all things cheesecake. Tell me what you are all doing with your fresh strawberries! Tips and Tricks for Making this Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish:
These danishes are best fresh — so be sure to make them the day you want to eat them. They are super quick to whip up so they’re perfect for company or any holiday! Feel free to mix up the fruit on top! Some fruit — like berries, kiwi, mandarin oranges — will be great fresh and can be added after baking. Some fruit — like apples — will be better added before baking as they will soften. You’ll want to slice your strawberries as thinly as possible — this will make them easier to eat and prevent them from all sliding off as you eat the danish!
