Directions
Pineapple Cheesecake Danish,Danish pastries – hot from the oven – are a great breakfast or brunch treat, and this version is fast and easy. The cardamom and cinnamon-scented cheese filling is delectable, and the yummy, sunshiney-yellow pineapple topping is show-stoppingly good!!!,Beautiful! I went ahead & used the full 8 oz of cream cheese, omitted the spices & added a bit of lemon juice to the cream cheese as I am a traditionalist with my cheesecake filling. I found that brushing both the pastry & the cream cheese filling helped to contain it a little better. I also covered them with foil 10 minutes into baking, otherwise the pastry would’ve burned. Lastly, I sprinkled with toasted coconut instead of the glaze, they looked so pretty. Thanks so much for sharing, it put the leftover pineapple from the Recipe #114575 to good use and we will be making these again for sure!***Update*** we decided that the danish needed a glaze afterall, so I made a quick citrus glaze and it really seemed to round out the pastry flavors. I may have drained my pineapple a bit too well, as it seemed a little dry, so next time I’ll take that into consideration.

to Assemble: Tear the Pastry Squares Along the Perforations So That You Have 4 Rectangles (do not Separate the Rectangles Into Crescents) and Place on Baking Pan or Cookie Pan Lined With Parchment Paper or Silpat. Cut Each Rectangle Down the Middle So You Have 8 Squares. Divide the Cheesecake Filling Evenly Amongst the Squares, Dolloping It Into the Centre of Each Square and Flattening It Somewhat Lengthwise So That Filling Is Stretched Down the Pastry Square, and not Just Blobbed in the Middle. Don't Bring It Too Close to the Edges as It May Leak Out While Baking. Over the Cheesecake Filling, Distribute the Pineapple Topping Evenly. Bring Opposite Corners of Pastry in, Slightly Overlapping One Corner Over the Other, to Create Danish. Brush Pastries With Reserved Egg White. |
