Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In another bowl, gently toss the raspberries with cornstarch and lemon juice to coat them and set aside.

Step 4

Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 10x12 inches in size.

Step 5

Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal rectangles.

Step 6

Place each rectangle onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 7

Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each piece of pastry.

Step 8

Top the cream cheese with a few raspberries, dividing them evenly among the Danish pastries.

Step 9

Fold the edges of the pastry slightly over the filling to create a border.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the pastry with almond milk using a pastry brush.

Step 11

Sprinkle the raw sugar over the edges of each Danish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature for a deliciously sweet and tangy breakfast treat.
