Can Frozen Blueberries be used for this Recipe?

I recommend using fresh blueberries for this recipe and not frozen ones. Frozen blueberries would affect the baking time and then the moisture from them would get onto the edge and won't allow the puff pastry to rise.

How to Store and Reheat the Extras?

These Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish Pastries are at their best when enjoyed the same day they’re baked. Since there is cream cheese in this particular recipe, you will have to refrigerate the leftovers. They will last 3-5 days in the fridge, however, the pastries will lose their crispiness and will get soggy. I usually place them onto a baking sheet and reheat them in the oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 5-10 minutes.


Tips and Tricks
  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature while making the filling. This will ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Make sure that your puff pastry is cold before starting the recipe. This will give you those flaky, crispy layers. If you’ve had your pastry sheet out too long, put it back in the fridge for some time.
  • Feel free to use any combination of fresh berries to accompany these Danish pastries. I chose blueberries, but strawberries and raspberries would also be great choice!
