Ingredients

• 2 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups Fresh cherries, pitted
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Thaw vegan puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four even squares to create a total of eight squares.

Step 4

Place a generous spoonful of cherry filling in the center of each pastry square.

Step 5

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, carefully sealing the edges by pressing them with a fork.

Step 6

Transfer the prepared pastries onto the lined baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix almond milk and vegetable oil to create a vegan egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top of each Danish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

While the Danishes are baking, prepare the icing by combining powdered sugar and water in a small bowl, whisking until smooth.

Step 10

Once the Danishes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 11

Drizzle the icing over the warm Danishes before serving. Enjoy your vegan cherry Danish warm or at room temperature.
