Amount of Servings
2 Danish
Ingredients

2 puff pastry sheets, thawed

4-ounces cream cheese

½ cup FAGE Total 0%, 2%, 5%, or BestSelf Plain

4 tablespoons sugar, extra for garnish

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup raspberry preserve

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

    Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Lay out a large piece of parchment paper on a table and dust with flour.
  4. Roll out each puff pastry sheet to a rectangular shape about 6-inch x 2-inch. Set the second dough aside while working on the first sheet.
  5. Using a knife, cut out 3-inch-tall triangles about ½-inch apart on the long side of the puff pastry. This will cut into about half of the 6-inch side. Discard extra dough.
  6. Spread cream cheese mixture on the non-cut half of the dough, making sure to leave a ½-inch border.
  7. Top the cream cheese mixture with raspberry preserve.
  8. Make an egg wash by mixing the egg with water and brush wash along the ½-inch border.
  9. Fold the triangle diagonally over the cream cheese mixture and pinch the dough ends together. Shape the log into a candy cane by hooking the top to the right.
  10. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with extra sugar.
  11. Repeat with the second pastry sheet.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
