Ingredients
- 1 sheet Reduced-fat puff pastry
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Low-fat milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the reduced-fat cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Unroll the reduced-fat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to smooth any creases. Cut the pastry into 6 equal-sized squares.
Step 5
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, and top with a spoonful of plumped raisins.
Step 6
Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center and gently pinch to seal them, creating a Danish shape.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash. Brush the pastry tops with the egg wash to help them brown evenly.
Step 8
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 9
While the Danishes are baking, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and low-fat milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 10
Remove the Danishes from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the warm Danishes before serving.
