Here are Some Ideas for all Those Frozen Cherries
It seems cherry season is over almost as soon as it’s begun.
These Danish are the perfect weekend breakfast treat. The tangy mascarpone compliments the tart cherries (that don’t need to be thawed!) To create a delightfully balanced baked good. Using store-bought puff pastry makes it even easier to rise and shine…and enjoy.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: Yields: 8 Danish
- 1 box frozen puff pastry
- 4 oz softened mascarpone cheese (cream cheese would also work)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 pound pitted, frozen cherries
- 1 egg + 1 Tbsp water, whisked
Preparation
Prep Time: 10 minutes • Cook Time: 15 – 17 minutes • Total Time: 25 – 27 minutes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Cut the puff pastry into eight equal pieces and place 1-inch apart on baking sheets. Stir together the mascarpone, powdered sugar and salt.
Spread 1 Tablespoon mascarpone mixture on each puff pastry square, leaving ½ inch border along the edges.
Top with a handful of cherries, pressing down slightly.
Brush edges with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 – 17 minutes or until pastries have puffed up and are golden brown.
